Held annually, the competition is attended by keen mathletes, teachers and parents, with children tasked with competing in age appropriate mathematics questions.

The competition was all about inspiring students to learn and improve their maths through this fun but challenging online resource.

The live competition featured the best maths students from each school in the Program. 

The students competed in an open forum, completing a series of speed and accuracy challenges set by The Westport Club and 3P Learning.

The challenges were based on the levels from the online Mathletics website used by competing schools.
