A point system was agreed to last year. The system will be implemented this year through a competition called the Maths Quest 2002. The points will be based on the marks from Term 1 and 2 Maths exams, tests (which account for 60% of the total), YSMA speed tests, POWs, AMC and FMC (adds to the remaining 40%).
It is hoped that this will give all students an impetus to study and appreciate Mathematics.
Towards the end of term 1, YSMA has organised InterForm Team Competitions, a Speed Test, two POWs and some tutorials.
Term II started with the focus on the preparation of Maths Teams to the Suva Zone Maths Quiz to be held on June 28. As the years progress, this quiz becomes increasingly tough, it is thus very important for students do a lot of problem solving to gain the confidence and to become competitive. This year, the Fiji Maths Association has included class 6 in their events, so there will be 8 Maths teams altogether from Class 6 to Form 7.
