Over a four-week period, during April and May, 33 of our high potential mathematicians worked in pairs to compete in the Australian Mathematics Challenge.  This challenge fosters students’ understanding of the power of mathematics and the joy of mathematical problem solving.

The students worked together, and individually, to solve six problems.  It has been amazing to observe engaged young individuals as they enhanced their problem-solving skills and challenged their highly developed understanding of working mathematically.  

All students had the opportunity to develop their learning and collaboration skills, including differing perspectives and conflict resolution, built new friendships and reinforced their understanding of the beauty of mathematics.

Congratulations to all our participants and we look forward to receiving your results for this challenge.
