Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians

Our Year 5 and 6 Extension Mathematics students participated in the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians, run by the Australian Mathematics Trust in Term 2. This involved students working on extensive problems over a 3-week period, with access to two peers for assistance and no other outside input. Students showed strong resolve and great collaboration skills during this process, learning much about Mathematics and themselves along the way!

Well done to everyone who participated and congratulations to the following people who earned awards in the following divisions:
