Welcome to Matrix Maths extension for exceptionally able maths students

Principles
 * To develop able mathematics students by extending them horizontally rather than vertically
 * Student will be taught to effectively use the problem solving strategies to solve problems relating to all strands with particular emphasis on the number/algebra strand
 * Students will solve a practical problem within the geometry and measurement strand. This will be a group projects
 * Students will plan a statistical investigation that deals with a real life problem. Students will be expected to interpret their reults and check whether their assertions were correct
 * Selected students will participate in the Mathex competition
 * Students will engage in competitions, namely Otago challenge APSMO and the Australian tests
