Mathematical Minds:
Students in Years 9 to 11 across the motu participated in the first round of the Otago Junior Maths competition earlier this week. The competition lasted for nearly 2 hours (50 minutes per part). With an emphasis on problem-solving. While mathematical skills are important during exam pressure, so is the skill of careful reading, therefore students were encouraged to read, think, process and act in a timely manner!
At each level there will be a first prize of $300, a second prize of $250, a third prize of $200, and 27 outstanding awards of $50. Certificates are also awarded for Top 100 and Top 200 placings. In addition, Certificates of Distinction will be awarded to approximately the top 15% of students at each level, and Certificates of Merit will be awarded to approximately the top 50% of students at each level.
