MathsWeek

This year the Year 7 – 10 Mathematics Teaching Programmes were suspended for the nationwide MathsWeek. Our students were given class time to create a mathematical model or design which would then be judged. As part of their model/design the students had to write a description of the mathematics contained in their entry.
Teachers selected the best 3 - 4 from their class for judging. These models were displayed in the Hall during the recent Whanau Evening and are now in the Office for viewing. Winners at each year level will be announced at an assembly after Tournament Week.
The annual “Guess the number of jelly beans in the jar” competition was jointly won by Emily Chamberlain and Dixie-Leigh Burr. Their individual guesses were one away from the actual total of jelly beans.
