Mathex 2026

Mathex is a fast past Maths competition where schools across all over Auckland answer as many Maths questions as possible in 30 minutes. 

Each school can put forward two Year 9 teams and two year 10 teams, each team consisting of 1 x Runner and 3 x Mathematicians. The highest and fastest scoring teams can even win prizes!

I want to join Mathex - what do I do?

Because there are limited spaces on each team, you need to demonstrate you have strong Maths ability. There will be a series of challenges and meetings . Check this page regularly for updates!

Meeting 2  - KS25, 12:45pm, 25th May 2026 - Code Word Clues

Everyone is welcome to join our second meeting, but to get in you need to know the 4 letter code word! To work out the code word, work out the clues for TWO grid references. For each grid reference, go there to look for a poster which will have half the code word on it.
