Competition Format
Teams will compete in 4 rounds; a problem solving round, a cross number round, a group round and a relay round. Prizes will be awarded for across these categories.
The problems will be set so that they are accessible to students in their final three years of High School. No particular curriculum course is necessary nor provides any specific advantage in content.
In addition it is intended that students will work in buddy teams composed of students from different schools to solve problems outside the formal 4 round competition. There will be prizes for the best performances in this competition also. There will also be a Maths Trail around the local area- again students will be in groups from different schools for this competition.
Group Round
All 4 students in a team work collaboratively on a set of questions.
Relay Round
The team is split into two where the answer to one question feeds into the next.
Cross Number
Can the team work collaboratively when half have the across clues and the other the down clues?
