The Junior Maths Games program is an opportunity for mainstream students and mixed ability classes in Years 5 and 6 to learn valuable problem solving skills, strategies and techniques. It provides mainstream students with an opportunity to learn and develop their maths problem solving skills in a non-competitive environment. The program builds students’ confidence while focusing on the application of specific strategies.
The program comprises four papers, held approximately six weeks apart, from early in Term 2 to the end of Term 3, on the same dates as the Maths Olympiad contest.
