AMSP Christmas Quiz Result

Our Y9 students also took part in the annual AMSP Christmas Quiz. This is an online, fast paced competition for pupils across Yorkshire, The Humber and the East Midlands. Students worked in teams of 2, 3 or 4, before submitting their answers online.

Despite fierce competition on the day, we had one team place 4th, one place third and one team won the Heat!

In fact, out of more than 2000 students taking part, in 682 teams, that team came 14th!

Intermediate Maths Challenge

In February, some of our Year 9 students took part in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge.

This is a 60 minute, 25 multiple choice Challenge. It encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and    fluency to make students think. The problems on the Intermediate Maths Challenge are designed to make students think, most are accessible yet still challenge those with more experience.

Out of 31 students who took part,  14 students were awarded Bronze Certificates , and 12 students were awarded   Silver certificates with one missing out on Gold by just one point! Congratulations to all.

Year 10 Math Feast Success

In March some of our Year 10 took part in a “Maths Feast” competition at Cardinal Newman School in Coventry.

Competing against 13 other teams of students from around the region, they had to complete four very different rounds of tricky Maths.

Despite competition from some of the biggest and best schools in the area, we were so pleased to win 1^st place and 4^th place!

Congratulations and a fantastic effort from all involved.

 

This term, as part of Careers week, students looked at the Maths involved such varied careers as Social Media           advertising, Housing, and Photography.

Parents  can see how important Maths is in a variety of careers by looking through the “Maths Why Bother?” videos at Maths, Why Bother? | MYPATH Careers Resources.

Students go from strength to strength on Sparx Maths. 602,030 questions have been answered correctly so far this year, with Bella in Year 7 leading the way with 30,558 XP points on the site. Well done Bella!
