Student ActivitiesMAT aims to support teachers in their teaching of mathematics by providing a combination of engaging and challenging mathematics activities for students. In addition to National maths day, and National literacy and numeracy week, MAT conducts a number of student activities unique to Tasmania. Mathematics RelaysThis major event in the MAT calendar is held annually during August. This year the relay will be held on Sunday, August 8th. Schools enter teams of four students in Primary (grades 5, 6), Lower Secondary (grades 7, 8), Upper Secondary (grades 9, 10) or Senior Secondary (grades 11, 12). Entries in the Primary and Lower Secondary divisions are restricted to two teams per school. Sample question and solution papers are now available!

The Relays are held simultaneously in three main venues around the state – Hobart, Launceston and the NW coast. Depending on demand, a fourth venue on the West coast may be brought into play. Entry fees are fixed by the MAT executive and reviewed from time to time. The current fee structure is:
MAT individual and school members: maximum two teams per school at member rate of $11.00 per team (GST inclusive)
MAT Mathematics Problem Competition 2010For 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. Be involved! We need volunteers to help set questions and answers for the 2010 MAT Problem Competition. If you are interested, please contact Jenny Tayler at taylerj@internode.on.net. A small honorarium will be offered. The 2010 competition will be held on Thursday, 8th July.

ML Urquhart Mathematics CompetitionThis Competition is for nominated Year 11 and 12 students and is named in honour of the late ML (Mac) Urquhart, Foundation Chairman of MAT and former Reader in Mathematics at the University of Tasmania. Held in August each year this Competition is the most mathematically demanding of competitions conducted by the Association. Students have three hours in which to attempt five questions. The winner of the Competition receives the Urquhart Medal, a framed certificate and prize money. Certificates and money are also awarded to students deserving of an Honourable Mention.
