National Literacy and Numeracy Week activities 2007 
Reach for the Stars and Let's Be Fair are Australia-wide activities for schools conducted by AAMT with the support of the Australian Government as part of National Literacy and Numeracy Week (3-9 September 2007).
Reach for the Stars (for pre-school, primary and middle school students)
“Reach for the Stars” is a national numeracy activity associated with National Literacy and Numeracy Week (3-9 September 2007). It has been conducted by the AAMT since 2003. It is designed for students from pre-school to junior secondary, with an emphasis on flexibility for teachers to adopt those aspects of the event which suit their own classrooms.
This year, students will be "Stepping Up with Maths" to explore whether there is a relationship between our heights and the sizes of our feet.
Further information is available on the AAMT website.
The Australian Mathematical Olympiad Program
The Australian Mathematical Olympiad Program is a program from which about the top 100 students from the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians and the Australian Mathematics Competition for the Westpac Awards take extra preparation which can lead to selection in the Australian team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The IMO is the pinnacle of competition between students of pre-University level from different countries.
