Details: The National Mathematics Summer School is a two-week residential school held each January in Canberra. It is aimed at highly motivated students of mathematics who have just completed Year 11 Mathematics. The 56th NMSS will be held in Canberra from 7 to 20 January 2024.
The National Mathematics Summer School is an activity of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) and the Australian National University. Further information is available on the AAMT website (https://aamt.edu.au/) or on the National Mathematics Summer School website (https://nmss.edu.au/).
Cost: The financial contribution from students will be $2000. The full cost has been heavily subsidised by the Larry Blakers Fund held by the ANU and the Leon Poladian Fund held by the AAMT. Several scholarships will be available to assist students for whom the cost would be prohibitively expensive. As well, the CMA will contribute $400 for each student who attends.
Selection: Current ACT Year 11 mathematics students who are interested in attending the summer school next January should complete an application form (available shortly on the NMSS website). Students must provide a recommendation from their teacher.
The CMA coordinates the selection of students from the ACT who wish to attend the NMSS, based on the strength of their application. There are places for two attendees from ACT and CMA will also nominate two reserves. These students are then put forward to the NMSS Director for consideration of a place at the NMSS.
ACT teachers can nominate one or more of their students who they believe would benefit from attending.
Teachers - You can support your students by inviting them to complete an application and by making sure that you have completed your sections to assist them.
Students - You can complete your sections independently and then ask your teacher for assistance in completing the section from your school.
Nominations for the Summer School must be sent to CMA by email canberramaths@gmail.com by Thursday August 31st 2023.
