BECAUSE WE ALL WANT TO ENJOY MORE SUCCESS

Schools enage in collaborative assessment-as-learning® experiences for all, anytime, anywhere in the world!

The WMC are fun, collaborative and cultural experience for all.
The schedule is very busy DOING MATHEMATICS, with a healthy mix of seriousness and laughter, geekiness and play, indoors and out!
The main event is comprised of SIX ROUNDS (3 individual and 3 in teams). Each venue has the option to offer up to 3 EXTRA ROUNDS if they wish.
Participants sometimes think deeply alone, work in teams, be inspired by speakers and create using their imagination!

The FIVE SKILLS CATEGORIES are:
  • Challenge - because we want to be the best that we can be
  • Knowledge - because we need secure foundations to communicate, collaborate, challenge, strategise and create better!
  • Collaboration - because we all need others to help us achieve our dreams
  • Strategy - because visionary thinking leads to more profound success
  • Creativity - because we enjoy being humans instead of robots
Individuals focus on the Challenge rounds alone.
Collaboration teams are in a maximum of 3s.


Some rounds are subject specific skills and procedures - knowledge intensive.
Other rounds are focused towards planing and executing a Strategy.
There are rounds that depend upon creativity - developing new and imaginative ideas.

Each Strategy, Creativity and knowledge skill category has one round that is engaged in alone, and the other in a team.

*Three optional rounds can form another Communication category involving teams in a maximum of 3s - because we need to be able to convince others that our beliefs are sound.

Leaderboards will show rankings within each category.

This unique platform enables participants to network and build lasting friendships and life-long memories - usually the main highlight of their schooling years.

Payment is made directly through the secure online gateway, Stripe. Bank transfer invoices incure an additional 10% admin charge for this extra personalisation.
Once registered, more practise material is available to registered student participant accounts.
