On Wednesday 27 November, a team of four Habs mathematics students took part in the Middlesex regional final of the Senior Mathematics Team Challenge, which is organised by the UK Mathematics Trust and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme.
 
The School is pleased to report that the Habs team came first and hence qualified for the national finals of the competition in February.

The Habs team of Josh (U6R2), Krish (L6R1), Daniel (L6M1) and Akira (L6M2) competed in three rounds of mathematical competition including: 
  • a group round, ten problems of varying type and difficulty;
  • a series of shuttles in which the answer from one question feeds in to the next;
  • a crossnumber (mathematical crossword);

The competition combines mathematical, communication and teamwork skills and offers students another way to express and develop their enjoyment of mathematics.

 Many thanks must go to Mrs Brock and Mr Haring for their work with the strongest mathematicians at our after school maths club each week, which is growing in popularity.
