The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) is one of the largest inter-school mathematical thinking challenge activities in the world with a long history, and the students of the Affiliated School of Jinan University for Hong Kong and Macao Students actively signed up to participate. A total of 96 ASJ students participated in AMC, and 85 won awards, with an award rate of 88.54% which is much higher than the official average award rate of 60%. Among them, 2 students won Distinction, 18 won Credit and 65 won the Proficiency.
AMT 每年通过澳大利亚数学思维挑战AMC 为澳大利亚选拔国际数学奥林匹克国家代表队,旨在丰富各个阶段学生的数学教育,提供更前沿的数学思想、理论动态和教育资源。AMC 目前是国际权威的金牌校际数学思维挑战,新颖的题型和多语言试题让全球的数学爱好者们得以在数学领域深刻切磋,共同学习,并深刻认识数学在生活中的重要性。

Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was introduced in Australia in 1978 as the first Australia-wide mathematics competition for students. It has become the largest single event on the Australian education calendar, allowing students to attempt the same tasks on the same day in 32 countries around the globe. The Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) is a national not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to enrich the teaching and learning of mathematics for students of all standards. AMT hold mathematics and informatics competitions, administer enrichment activities, conduct workshops for students and teachers, and publish books on mathematical enrichment for Australian and international students. The AMT selects and supports Australia’s international mathematics and informatics.
To me, Mathematics is quite interesting. Every time I solve a math problem, I have a strong sense of achievement. Compared with previous competitions, AMC's topics are difficult but interesting, which stimulates my desire to improve myself. Actually, it was unexpected that I could win this award with high recognition. I am very grateful to my family and ASJ teachers. Wining this award is inseparable from their support.
My love for mathematics is as always. I have participated in many Mathematical competitions in the past, and I enjoyed the process of figuring out every math question. I wish to engage in math related work in the future, such as accounting. I felt released when I knew the result as the old saying goes ‘No pain, no gain’. I will keep on working hard and exercise myself. I wish in the future there are more competitions that I can participate in and explore the mysteries of mathematics.
The success of ASJ students in this competition is closely related to the exploratory, positive, inspiring and harmonious teaching atmosphere by ASJ. At the same time, it is also inseparable from the students' hard work and the teachers' careful and innovative teaching.
During the preparation session, all students actively practiced their mathematical thinking literacy and finished different exercises such as Math Operation, Logic Inferences, Mathematical Modeling, Association or Imagination of Ideas, Data Analysis and so on. Through this competition, students' mathematical thinking has been tempered and expanded in various degrees.
Competitions will stimulate students' interests and enthusiasm in learning. Looking forward to more ASJ students taking part in various competitions.
