REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR YEAR 5/6 BLACKBURN GAMES DAY 

MAV is excited to be running maths games days to be delivered across the state as part of The Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series.

MAV will deliver a series of Mathematics Games days for students from Yr 5 to 10. These will be delivered across the state, in metropolitan and regional schools.

Each region will host a separate Yr 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10 event.

The aim of this program is to challenge high ability students in a fun, challenging, collaborative and competitive mathematics-based games day.

Teams of students compete for a variety of prizes including individual prizes for creativity, contribution to group work, and lucky door prizes. Lateral thinking wins the day!
