Congratulations to students who participated in the Australian Maths Competition. There were many challenging questions within the tests and students showed great persistence and courage to complete the competition.

In particular, Atharv had outstanding results with a High Distinction and was recognised as one of the state’s top performers in the competition.

Grade 5-6 Question example: Li attempted to multiply a single-digit number by 36, but he accidentally multiplied by 63 instead. His answer was 189 larger that the correct answer. What was the correct answer to the multiplication?

Grade 3-4 Question example: Tom is digging holes in his garden for his new plants. As he is working he slows down. Each hole takes a minute longer to dig than the last hole. The first 5 holes have taken him 35 minutes in total. How long will it take him to dig the next 2 holes?
