On Thursday 2nd February, 18 students took part in the UK Mathematics Trust – Intermediate Maths Challenge.
The challenge is an hour-long multiple-choice challenge of increasingly difficult mathematical problems to be solved with only mathematical knowledge, a piece of paper and a pencil. I am pleased to announce that over 75% of the boys have received a certificate and we have a qualifier for the Pink Kangaroo (done by only 8000 students across the country).
The thresholds for the certificates
- Gold 71+
- Silver 55+
- Bronze 42+
Congratulations to all the following students:
A special mention to the following students:
Majd (Year 8) – the first Year 8 to take part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge and only one correct question from achieving a bronze certificate. We hope he takes part in the Junior Maths Challenge.
Mylo (Year 9) and George (Year 10) – achieving Silvers and being Best in Year
Oliver (Year 11) – achieving a gold certificate, being best in school as well as qualifying for the Pink Kangaroo on Thursday 16th March.
Students are welcome to join the Maths Challenge club every Thursday in MH08 from 15:30 – 16:30!
