The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) is an annual mathematics competition for students in primary and secondary schools in Australia. It is organized by the Australian Mathematics Trust and aims to promote mathematical problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
The AMC is open to all students in Australia, from primary school to Year 12. There are different levels of papers for different age groups: Junior for students in Years 3-4, Intermediate for Years 5-6, and Senior for Years 7-12.
Students are required to have pencils, erasers, and a calculator for the competition. They will be provided with the necessary question papers and answer sheets by their school or invigilator.
The best way to prepare for the AMC is to practice solving mathematical problems. There are many resources available, such as past papers, practice books, and online resources. It is also helpful to understand the types of questions that may be asked on the competition and to familiarize yourself with the format and time constraints.
The AMC provides an opportunity for students to challenge themselves and improve their problem-solving skills. It also allows students to compare their abilities with other students in Australia and internationally. Additionally, top-performing students may receive recognition and awards, which can enhance their academic resume and potentially open doors for future opportunities.
