Numeracy Enrichment

Today our Year 5/6 Numeracy Enrichment students participated in their first 'Maths Games Junior' contest, facilitated by the Australasian Problem-Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO) organisation.  This challenge consists of four different contest papers spaced over the next few months, with each paper focusing on two distinct problem-solving strategies.  This first paper focused on 'finding a pattern' and 'building a table' to solve problems grounded in real-world applications.

Students have been working hard practicing these strategies in their enrichment sessions late last term and are to be congratulated for their wonderful efforts today in completing their first contest challenge.

'Maths Games Junior Contest 2' will be held on Wednesday 12 June.
