Australian Maths Competition

Whaea Danielle would like thank everyone who supported our students (Y5 to 8) to take part in the Australian Maths Competition on Friday.
The students who participated are:
Bardia, Kelecia, Edward, Caleb, James, Shanya, Miracle, Violet, Moses and Phynes.


Here is a sample of a type of question from each test:


1. Jacqui has $200 in her purse in $5, $10 and $20 notes. She has 20 of these notes altogether. If she has more $20 notes than $10 notes, how many $5 notes does she have?
2. Andrew thinks of 4 consecutive numbers. The sum of the first three numbers is 100 more than the fourth number. What is the sum of these consecutive numbers?
3. The first digit of a six-digit number is 1. This digit 1 is now moved from the first digit position to the end, so it becomes the last digit. The new six-digit numbers is now 3 times larger than the original number. What are the last three digits of the original number?


Whaea Danielle asks - "How did you go on these questions?"
