The Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series: Maths Games Days

Team registrations are open! More details are below register here!

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

Please note: VCES Games Days are funded Victorian Department of Education and Training, and are only available to government schools in Victoria.

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!

A Maths Games Day is an opportunity for students to:

• apply and develop their mathematical talents and thinking skills in a setting where Maths is regarded as fun and worthwhile;
• work with like-minded high ability students from a diverse range of schools;
• participate in mathematical activities and games without the usual classroom pressures;
• work effectively in teams and develop strategies to work collaboratively to solve problems;
• enhance their problem-solving skills;
• get excited about mathematics, whilst being rewarded through prizes and awards.

Enrolment:

Enrollment is only for high ability students in metropolitan and regional Victorian Government schools.

School can register a maximum of 2 teams (8 students) per event. 

• Activities will be appropriately tailored to the needs of high-ability students.
• Activities will be free for participating schools and students.
