As part of our extension program in Mathematics, a number of the Year 5 and 6 students participated in the recent Queensland Association of Maths Teacher Team Challenge. Students worked as a member of a team and individually to answers questions in five sections: Estimation, Speed, Written Problems, Individual Short Answer and General Knowledge.

The students loved the extra challenge provided by these events and always have a smile on their face when they finish.

How would you go? Try this question from the General Knowledge section.

Congratulations to all competitors and our winning team of Harry Wren, Tom Telfer and Jack Brown.
