Get your students thinking about careers and mathematics
You Can Do Maths: Write and produce for television.
A competition for students
As part of the continuing You Can Do Maths campaign, the AAMT recently conducted a competition for students. They were asked to write an outline for the script for the next advertisement in the series. Students needed to identify some occupation(s) and research the sort of mathematics involved, then write an outline of the script for a You Can Do Maths advertisement that features their occupation(s).
Winners will see their script used as the basis of a professional production - their work will be on TV! Some lucky winners will also be taken to Melbourne to be present at the filming of their segment(s); and schools will receive some mathematics resources -- thanks to Kinetic Education and AAMT.
