Maths, graphs and problem solving. All the students from Sancta Maria College placed their heads together during Maths Week to solve many challenging and brain-teasing problems. During each day of the week, each homeroom was given a math problem for students to solve and decode.
This activity enabled classes to become closer, as students needed to help each other in order to tackle the difficult questions given to them. However, a competition was also available for daring students who wanted an extra challenge. Each student had to create a picture out of graphs, challenging not only their maths skills but their creativity too! What’s more, Casio sponsored this competition and provided over $700 dollars worth of calculators! These were our lucky winners:
