Maths Extension/Mathex/Entreprenuers/Otago Maths

Over the past 2 terms 2 year 7 students from our class, have been participating in maths extension, mathex, otago maths and entrepreneurs. These are all about maths and learning new skills at a higher level of ability. Recently we had the mathex competition held at the Indian Hall, our teams did quite well with one coming 3rd equal and another 5th equal. Otago maths is a test every second Thursday, their are 5 questions in each test and we are given thirty minutes to complete the test. Entrepreneurs is learning financial skills to do with maths. We do this on a website called The Duffy Club and complete a tutorial every week that the Duffy twins make for different schools around the country. Maths Extension is problem solving and again learning new skills with maths. This is a great way to learn all about maths.

NIE Newspaper

Recently, our class has been working on a front page design of a newspaper for a competition. We have all been working very hard and have been designated with different jobs within our groups. Unfortunately we have missed the cut off date for the competition and have been unable to enter, we are still going to finish them though. Some groups have already completed them and are looking up to scratch. We have all had fun making the front page and have learned lots of new skills during this project.
