MTG president and the country’s AMC current national director Dr. Simon L. Chua pointed out that the number of AMC participants from the Philippines continues to grow each year. He cited Filipino math students for continuously performing extremely well in the AMC.
The AMC has become the largest single event on the Australian Education Calendar, allowing students to simultaneously attempt the same tasks with countries throughout the Pacific and South East Asia, and some from even further afield taking part.
Students are then asked to solve 30 problems in 60 minutes (Grades 3 to 6) or 75 minutes (1st to 4th Year HS). Students mark their responses on a mark-sense sheet and these are processed by the computer. The earliest problems are very easy. All students should be able to solve them. The problems get progressively more difficult until the end, challenging each student.
The Competition is administered by the non-profit Australian Mathematics Trust, which has representatives on its Board of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, Australian Academy of Science and Australian Mathematical Society.
The aims of the Australian Mathematics Competition are three-fold:
- To highlight the importance of mathematics as a curriculum subject
- To give students an opportunity to discover talent in mathematics
- To provide resources for the classroom and general discussion
