Pupils who attend Problem Solving Club recently took part in the\u00a0UK Maths Trust Intermediate Maths Challenge, a national competition testing problem solving skills. We are very impressed with these results, especially from our S1\/2 pupils as this competition level is aimed at S3-4. All worked very hard, taking away past papers to practise in their own time, and\u00a0<\/span>showed a lot of resilience with this year’s fairly tough set of questions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pupils L->R are: Roddy F, Eilidh Mc, Tanisha S, Georgie S*, Grace S*, Lily F, Agsayan P*.<\/div>\n

Starred pupils, plus Nicole E (not pictured) earned a Gold Certificate and such a high score that they receive an invite to the next round of this competition – an accolade enjoyed by only a small percentage of entrants. We wish them all the best as they prepare for this next round.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
