During the day, there will be presentations of interest to educators in each of the four areas, lower primary and early childhood, upper primary, lower secondary and upper secondary. The conference is open to members and non-members. There is also a newsletter to which students are encouraged to submit solutions and comments. The problems are also available on the web. The idea behind the groups is that students often learn best when they are able to interact with like students.
Groups involving a number of schools meet each week, after school hours.
We can put you in touch with any groups in your vicinity, or if you are willing to organise a group yourself, we will help you in any way we can. Alternatively, teachers who find that students are unable to attend such meetings away from their school prefer to offer these problems in their school only, during school hours. This covers our minimal operating costs and also provides each student with a certificate at the end of the year. Packard Promotes Learning in Mathematics Hewlett Packard recognises the commitment and dedication of those responsible for mathematics education in schools, colleges and universities in the Asia Pacific region. Contributions from three groups of year 11 students were presented by Theresa Geiger.
