Enterprising Maths Competition

December 1st, 2008

Congratulations to four of our 3rd year pupils who took part in the Finals of the Enterprising Maths Competition in Glasgow last Thursday. The competition was held in the Jordanhill Campus of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and our team were competing against around 50 other schools from all over Scotland.

 

They participated in five different rounds to test their mathematical as well as logic and problem solving ability. Some of these activities included using teamwork to construct a complicated “multi-zonal ball”, a speed challenge where they had 5 minutes to complete tasks at seven stations in turn, a “head to head” challenge which involved competing with other schools on logic games and last but not least - the famous relay round where they had to be fast on their feet to complete as many questions as possible.

 

The day was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Our four pupils were proud to bring back an engraved glass trophy and goody bags to celebrate their success.
