Maths Enrichment

Tim BurrowsMay 28, 2021January 24, 2023

Our program is designed for students from Year 5-10 with a passion and talent for all things mathematics. We aim to answer complex mathematical questions, learning explicit problem-solving strategies in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Have you ever wondered how many aliens are there in the universe? Who was responsible for coming up with π, and why do mathematicians keep estimating more digits of π? How can maths help you increase your chances of winning the lottery or pick the winner of the 2023 AFL grand final? How can we link maths with music, video games or dinosaurs?

We will explore questions that bring maths to life outside of the classroom, showing real-world applications tailored to the students’ interests. Students will learn new concepts in an accelerated mode while extending their existing interests and understanding. There will be plenty of opportunities to work with like-minded and engaged students to answer these questions.

In April to October, we will be going through the Australian Mathematics Trust Enrichment Program where students will go from Newton, Dirichlet, Euler, Gauss and, for the very mathematically able, Noether and Polya enrichment programs.

Students have multiple opportunities to flex their mathematical knowledge across the year, in competitions like the Have Sum Fun competition, the APSMO Olympiad, WAJO and the Australian Mathematics Competition.

A new focus of the program will be an optional self-directed project in the second semester to allow students time to explore a mathematical concept of particular interest that extends beyond the common topics covered in school.
