THE South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF) is challenging all primary school teachers and parents to enter their pupils in the South African Mathematics Challenge (SAMC) before the closing date on 15 April.
The SAMC is open for Grades 4 to 7 pupils and is organised by the South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF) in collaboration with the Association for Mathematics Education of South Africa (AMESA). The entry fee is R10 a learner in South Africa which is payable on entering for the first round.
Quantile 1 and 2 schools can enter free of charge.
The challenge aims to popularise mathematics by developing and disseminating materials that may contribute to meaningful mathematical activity in classrooms. It also supports the new curriculum and helps South Africans to become empowered, independent, critical and creative thinkers.
Last year more than 104 000 pupils from 486 schools participated in the annual competition. The first round of the challenge will be written the week of 9 to 13 May and those who qualify for the final round will write on 27 July.
