National Mathematics Talent Quest 2020

The NMTQ is a national competition that is open for all students at all year levels.  Entries for the competition can be made individually, in groups of students or by a whole class. It provides students with an opportunity to be creative and apply their learning to projects that they are interested in. Projects are submitted to schools. The best school entries are submitted to a panel of judges in each state and territory to decide on those that progress to a national competition.

The NMTQ was in digital format this year and hosted by the Mathematical Association of Western Australia.

The 2020 NMTQ has now been completed.
