We are looking to judges for the State and National Mathematical Investigations Competitions
Be inspired by the great work of our students by being a judge for the QLD and/or National Mathematical Investigations Competitions.
All judging is done online.
| State Level | National level | |
| Name | QLD Science Competition | National Maths Talent Quest
(AAMT) |
| Judging dates | Approx. mid Sept to mid Oct | Tue 1 – Wed 16 September |
| Number of entries each person typically marks | 10-15 entries (cross marking will happen where possible) | 4-5 entries from other states (more than 1 person will cross mark each entry) |
| More Info – criteria etc. | https://www.staq.qld.edu.au/competitions/queensland-science-contest/ page 18-19 | https://aamt.edu.au/students/national-mathematics-talent-quest/
Note that the criteria matches – as closely as possible – the State criteria |

Pedagogy in Mathematics – Download the position paper now!
QAMT works closely with the mathematics associations across each state and territory and with the national body, AAMT to promote excellence in mathematics education. AAMT have today released a white paper ‘Pedagogy in Mathematics’ that outlines the key elements of effective mathematics teaching.
The paper also provides practical guidance in the form of a framework for action to help school leaders, decision makers and teachers implement the recommendations.
‘Pedagogy in Mathematics’ advocates for a flexible approach, as differences in how students learn and engage with mathematics mean no single approach can meet all learners’ needs. Teachers should draw upon a rich collection of research-informed and high-quality strategies and be empowered to make informed professional judgements, selecting practices intentionally, tailored to specific contexts, learners and purposes. School leaders have an instrumental role in fostering cultures that equip and support teachers to make thoughtful and informed pedagogical choices in their mathematics teaching and learning.

Flash back to the 1920’s
Above is the first report from the Queensland Mathematical Society former QAMT from 1922
Do you own a piece of Mathematical History?
It could be a slide rule, an early generation calculator, a photo of a classroom from year’s past or an historic journal etc.
This year is QAMT’s 100 year anniversary and we are looking to collate memorabilia (both physical and digital) of the last 100 years of Mathematics Education. This history will be shared on our website and on display at the State conference.
Please contact Michael Bulmer ([email protected]) about sharing your piece of history.
We have been looking through the State Library Archives and found that their set of QAMT journals only go back to the 1990s. So, we are also looking for any member that has earlier journals that we can scan to complete the collection.
