time for a new maths mystery & celebrating February's champions!

As we welcome a new month here at UGS, the Maths department are keen to set a new challenge for our keen KS3 mathematicians, and, as it is Pi Day on 14th March, then naturally Pi is the focus of the quandaries for this month!

As you will know, February saw both Valentine's and Chinese New Year-themed Maths challenges, and the department were thrilled with the level of participation from our KS3 students, who demonstrated that they were eager to flex their arithmetical skills in order to work their way onto the wall of fame, and to earn coveted points for their Houses at the same time.

Pictured below is the Mystery Board in all its current glory, showcasing both February's champions, the solutions to the mysteries, and the brand-new challenge for March:

And really well done to the following for earning their place on the board and for your super hard work and commitment to extra mathematical learning, with just some of the champions pictured below:
