Maths Trips

24 May 2018

Maths and Beyond

On the 21st March, our Year 10 mathematicians went to University of Warwick. They attended a workshop called Maths and Beyond.  Pupils explored and participated in challenging and interesting mathematics involved in a range of movie, television and radio clips. There were five workshops: Japanese Grid Puzzles, Google and Gaming Magical Maths, Peg Solitaire and Statistics, Financial Markets, and Maths in Audio.  Our Year 10 pupils had a fantastic time. Overall, the Maths Workshop was a success as pupils saw how Maths is used in solving problems in the real world and why they should study Maths at A levels. It was truly a ‘Maths and Beyond’ day.


Maths Feast

On the 28th March, seven of our brightest pupils from Year 10 went to a Maths Feast (FMSP) Further Maths Support Programme. The event was organised by University of Warwick and Mathematics Education Innovation (MEI).  Our pupils worked as a team of four and worked together to solve challenging and interesting mathematical problems. These are mathematical problems designed for Further Maths A level. They won the award for the best team. Well done to Davina Vallabh (Year 13) who supported them for the day.

Congratulations to Daisy Anderson, Holly Bannerman, Oliver Costall, Gyari Gurung, Christopher Myers, Olivia Pipe and Abbie Whiteman.

Pupil Reflection by Daisy Anderson, Holly Bannerman, Olivia Pipe and Abbie Whiteman.

‘’Today, we experienced the opportunity to participate in a Further Maths challenge called `Maths Feast. ` It enabled us to deepen our understanding of mathematics beyond the classroom and to give us a glimpse of what A Level Maths may be like for our future choices. We were also encouraged to develop team building skills which led us to win an award for best group regarding teamwork and therefore increased our confidence in overall mathematics. We would recommend this to all years and pupils who are interested in maths.’’
