\"\"Two P7 pupils from St. Joseph\u2019s took part in the West Dunbartonshire Maths Challenge on the Wednesday of Maths Week Scotland. Ten teams of eight children went head to head to solve Mathematics problems within a limited time frame. The last challenge of the morning was the \u2018Hot Seat\u2019 where one child from each team was the \u2018runner\u2019, responsible for running to an adult with the answer to their current question and collecting the next question until they had successfully answered 30 questions. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The competition was fierce and the atmosphere electric as the children focused hard on winning. Over 80 pupils took part and table \u20188\u2019 was running neck and neck for first place into the last round with table \u20184\u2019. St Joseph\u2019s two pupils were part of table \u20188\u2019 and it was so exciting to watch them concentrate and focus on the title. With everything coming down to the last challenge, table \u20198\u2019 submitted their last correct answer milliseconds after table \u20184\u2019 thus moving them to second place. However, with over 80 pupils from P6 \u2013 S2 in the hall, this was still a glorious feat. Well done St. Joseph\u2019s \u2013 another competition success to add to the plethora of competition wins last session \u2013 long may it continue!<\/span><\/p>\n
