Get ready for the Arithmetic Olympics!

This engaging program will see students in Years 7, 8, and 9 Standard classes participate in a series of quick arithmetic challenges designed to supercharge your mental computation skills. Imagine a mental workout that helps you become faster and more accurate with numbers!

Over the next 4-6 weeks (starting in Week 3 and running until Week 7), maths teachers will lead a different arithmetic activity in the first 5-10 minutes of selected lessons. These challenges are designed to be quick, engaging, and to help students develop those crucial mental maths muscles.

As students participate in the challenges, their teachers will be keeping an eye out for students who demonstrate strong mental arithmetic skills and a great attitude. By the end of Week 7, each participating class will nominate one student to be their Arithmetic Olympics Class Champion!

The excitement culminates in Week 8, where all the nominated Class Champions will come together in Maths Club for the ultimate Arithmetic Olympics Final Challenge! This will be a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their mental maths prowess and compete against the best in their year groups.

We encourage all students in Years 7, 8, and 9 Standard to fully participate in the Arithmetic Olympics and see how much you can achieve! Good luck to everyone, and may the best mental calculators win!
