Have Sum Fun Maths is a competition in which teams of 6 face 4 rounds of mathematical problems and challenges.

With 20 minutes per round, it is a very exciting and fast-paced competition. In our heat, there were 32 teams. Aquinas had two teams in the Year 9-10 competition, both of which placed very high. One team, consisting of Jonathan Vinci, Matthew Vinci, Samuel Yeow, Nishok Nimalan, David Csontos and David Stopforth, placed 3rd overall. The other team also had a strong performance in the Year 9-10 division, placing 16th. Aquinas also put forward teams in the Year 7-8 and 11-12 competitions, who did very well.

Personally, I really enjoyed this competition, as it allowed me to bond with my friends and meet new people. It allowed me to expand my mathematical knowledge in a fun yet challenging way, through difficult questions with limited time. Overall, the Have Sum Fun Maths competition was an enjoyable and challenging experience, allowing us to learn new things in a fun environment.
