In February a group of Normanhurst year 9 and year 10 pupils completed a national mathematics challenge run by UKMT. The questions required pupils to use their problem solving and reasoning skills to answer the questions, which got increasingly more challenging.
Here is what some of the students had to say about the challenge.
Madihah – year 9
“The UKMT was a really big opportunity given to us all. We were given two sheets, one for working out and the other is where we’d have the questions and boxes to tick as they were multiple choice answers. Although it was challenging, it gave us the opportunity to show what we’re capable of doing.”
Hudson – year 10
“The UKMT was a fun and interesting experience that really challenged my brain. I would enjoy having this experience happen again as it is a nice practice for exams.”
Max – year 9
“The maths challenge was very fun and interesting, especially as the questions became more and more challenging. I loved the challenge.”
Well done to all of our students who performed very well.
