Maths camp - image  on https://www.johncolet.nsw.edu.au

On the 11th – 13th March, Eloise, Ellie, Josh and I went on a maths camp to Elanora Heights conference centre.  We had to wake up at 7:00 to go for a morning swim, then we did maths for 13 and a half hours.  We weren’t allowed to go to our cabins until 9:30pm.
We did a lot of maths in that time.  We did so much that at the end of the camp I had an insane headache from all the maths.
I’m so glad that I got to go.  It was such a great opportunity and a really good experience.  I learnt so many new things, such as how to define a problem and collect and organise the data.  We also learnt to work as a team, and how to enjoy maths and make maths fun.   I am a better mathmatician now. I enjoyed it so much and I’m sure everyone else that went did too.
