Course Summary:

Can maths and games be mixed together? Can you learn and have fun at the same time? This two-day workshop will explore and extend key mathematical concepts based on the Australian curriculum utilising games and activities in a fun and engaging way.

It will motivate and challenge the brightest students to go beyond their current level of understanding. Our mix of traditional board and card games along with other maths-based activities will bring out the creative mindset of gifted students as they learn and extend new mathematical scenarios and problems. It will also be a fun and rewarding social experience as students will play, compete and learn from other like-minded peers.

The workshop will be led by Dr Kwok, who is both an experienced educator and a gifted individual himself. Dr Kwok has a Phd from UNSW, is a member of Mensa and achieved a ATAR equivalent of 99+.
