Mathématiques sans Frontières

MsF was on yesterday for the Higher Maths and Modern Languages pupils – an annual national competition where pupils answer 13 maths problems, one of them in the Modern Language they’re studying. We haven’t won yet, but this year the pupils were particularly focussed and we’re really hopeful!

Maths sans Frontières is hungry work, so we supplied some snacks for the end
