AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION

AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION – Years 3-6

If you would like your child/ren to sit the Australian Maths Competition, registrations are open until Friday 11 September, 2020.  The cost is $6.50 paid via Compass.  This year the competition will run in early Term 4.  Students will be able to sit the competition online (at home).

The Australian Mathematics Competition is a mathematics competition run by the Australian Maths Trust for students from year 3 up to year 12. 

The competition paper consists of twenty-five multiple-choice questions and five integer questions, which are ordered in increasing difficulty (the first ten questions are worth three marks each, the next ten four marks each, and the last ten five marks each). There are five divisions in total: Senior (for years 11 and 12), Intermediate (for years 9 and 10), Junior (for years 7 and 8), Upper Primary (for years 5 and 6) and Middle Primary (for years 3 and 4).

Students are allowed 60 minutes (for the two primary papers) to read and answer the questions. Primary-level entrants may use calculators and any aids normally found in a classroom.
