Year 9/Year 10 LUSoM KS4 Maths Competition
On Wednesday 1st July, four of our top mathematicians took part in the Key Stage 4 Maths Competition at Lancaster University School of Mathematics (LUSoM) in Preston.
Alisia J and Lesley Y from Year 9 and Emily T and Arina A of Year 10 pitted their mathematical wits against teams from several local schools and some from farther afield such as Blackburn and Lathom.
The competition involved several rounds of highly challenging, logic based, problem solving activities that required close teamwork and resilience along with an ability to work fast and accurately under pressure.
Despite a heroic effort, the girls didn’t quite finish in the top three. Neverthless, all thoroughly enjoyed their experience and gained a useful insight into the facilities and atmosphere at one of the UKs leading Maths Schools.
