Maths Awards

Category : Post Primary

Congratulations to all our students who have received an award for their enthusiastic participation in Maths Week. The awards were giving out to the students who tried their best. Their perseverance and persistent paid off as they solved some of the complex puzzles. It was amazing to see students using Maths to create a Celtic knot, to solve some puzzling cryptic puzzles, to arrive at a particular destination without turning left (That was a tricky one!), and to have fun in doing not one but two Maths Trails! While every student particpated and had fun on Maths Day, our teachers felt that these 8 students deserved an award for their achievements on Maths Day. Well done to all.
