GRADE 4 to 7 maths boffs are invited to enter the South African Mathematics Challenge (SAMC).
Closing date for entries is 21 April, with the first round written in the week of 8 to 12 May. The SAMC is the premiere mathematics challenge in the country for primary school learners and aims to improve conceptual knowledge, the application of knowledge in new situations, problem solving, reasoning, communication and general mathematical thinking.
An entry fee of between R10 and R25 per learner is charged to cover operational expenses. Quintile 3, 4 and 5 public schools, as well as private schools can enter at R12 per learner payable on entering for the first round. South African schools with more than 100 entrants can enter at a reduced rate of R10 per learner, and schools outside South Africa at R25 per learner.
Quintile 1 and 2 schools can enter up to 100 learners free of charge. Learners who obtain at least 50 per cent in the first round will qualify for the final round on 2 August.
