MAT Mathematics Relays
The MAT Mathematics Relays are held annually at three locations across the state for students in Years 3 - 12. The relays see teams of four students take on mathematical problems of increasing difficulty as they race to beat other competitors and the clock. It's an exciting day to be part of! See our Facebook page for video of the Northern Heats in 2017 and 2016.
