Games Days
Team registrations will open in Term 2, 2027.
Please note: Teachers MUST register and attend Games Day with the teams registered
Games Days generally run from 9.30/10.00am- 2/2.30pm
A Maths Games Day is an opportunity for students to:
- develop their mathematical talents and thinking skills in a setting where maths is regarded as fun and worthwhile
- work with like-minded students from a diverse range of schools
- participate in mathematical activities without the usual class room pressures
- win prizes and rewards
- get excited about maths!
Maths Games Days are a very effective vehicle for getting young people – particularly in the middle years of schooling – enthused about maths. Problem solving and mathematical games address the Victorian Curriculum.
Teams of 4 students (maximum 2 teams per school) compete in areas of creativity, efficiency and contribution to group work. The participants are drawn from those who have a keen interest in mathematics and who can operate as a team. Lateral thinking wins the day.
Maths Games Days are organised and run by host schools and supported by the MAV.
Cost per team:
MAV Members - First team $60
Non Members - First team $75
Second team - Flat rate $60
Maximum two teams
Teams who cancel their booking before the closing date for registrations will receive a refund less a $35 administration fee. All cancellations MUST be in writing. Cancellations after the close of registrations are not eligible for a refund. Please email Renee Ladner if you wish to cancel, not the host school.
