Monday MaWe have now closed registering for this year's competition. (Answers for the questions have yet to be prepared.) Head to the Details page to download these. Wednesday MaSample questions for the first part of the competition have now been put into PDF documents. For Problem Challenge enquires please contact the Problem Challenge organisers directly. Note: This competition should not be confused with Problem Challenge, which is run by a separate unit within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Otago. (However students in years 7 or 8 are regarded as being in year 9 for the purposes of the competition.)įull details of the competition may be found here, with a note on who can enter here. Students who read the questions carefully and work out exactly what is being asked generally do better than those who jump in and write down the first thing that springs to mind.Īlthough many of the same questions are asked for each year level, students only compete against students at the same level as themselves.
Mathematical skills are important, but so is careful reading. The emphasis is on problem solving, so expect surprises! The competition lasts for 50 minutes per part (so one hour, 40 minutes in total). Every student throughout New Zealand sits the competition on exactly the same days, usually two Wednesdays in April in May (one for each part). This mathematics competition is for students in years 9 to 11 (forms 3 to 5), although younger students may also take part. 2023 is the 38th year of this highly successful Competition. The first part of the competition will be sat from Monday March 27 to Friday March 31, while the second part will be held on Wednesday May 3. This year the competition will be held in two parts - the first being a multiple-choice and short answer exam sat entirely online, while the second part will be a paper exam limited to the top 15 percent of participants in the first part. Welcome to the Junior Mathematics Competition!
