• National Mathematics Day 2013

• MAT Mathematics Problem Competition 2013

 For more than 40 years the Mathematical Association of Tasmania has conducted the MAT Mathematics Problem Competition for Tasmanian students in Years 7 to 12. Through this Competition some outstanding Mathematics students have been identified and, for other students, the Competition has sparked an interest in Mathematics. The event consists of a set of mathematical problems which aim to test the student’s logic. There are normally 12 questions for each of the three divisions (7-8, 9-10, 11-12). 

 The 2013 competition will be held on TBA

• ML Urquhart Competition

Held in August each year this Competition is the most mathematically demanding of competitions conducted by the Association.  In 2013, the competition will take place on TBA
