Maths Dragon Maths – 16 January – South Island School In the last weeks of term students in Year 7, 8 and 9 have been competing in their Mathematics lessons to earn a coveted place on Kellett School’s Dragon Maths team for 2014. Kellett has competed at the last two events and we are determined this year to improve on our previous performances. As a reminder Dragon Maths is a “Mathematical Relay Competition” where students answer questions as quickly as they can against teams from 15 other schools from around Hong Kong. Students competed in a similar style of relay in lessons to battle it out for selection, with the students below making the final cut: Year 7 – Sean Hargraves, Sean Jaffe Year 8 – Ethan Kim, Millie Krantz, Tommy Park, Daniel Storey, Golly Shepherd, Sophia Sumners Year 9 – Jeffery Turner, Cameron Ewins, Chloe Kim, Rebecca Heritage, Kirstie Taylor, Chin Kiu Pak, Georgina Jarrett, Ryan Whittington We will let you know how they get on in the next edition of the Dragon.
World Maths Day – 6 March 2014 Next term sees World Maths Day returning, bigger than ever. Students should expect the usual frenetic puzzle solving from the inter-house competition and in addition this year there will also be Maths themed starters in all subject lessons and a poster competition starting after Chinese New Year.
