Maths Games Day 2010

On Wednesday 21st July four boys from Year 8 travelled to Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School to compete against 134 teams of year 8 students from schools across Melbourne in the 14th annual MAV Maths Games Day. That’s over 500 of the state’s best mathematicians!!!
Kamalpreet, Marcus, Tim and Victor represented The Lakes in the fierce competition. The first 3 rounds consisted of number puzzles and dice games. The boys powered through and finished these rounds on a total of 24 points and in 54th position. As the students had a break for a BBQ lunch they were entertained by the school band and prepared themselves for a challenging afternoon. In the last 2 rounds for the day the boys worked hard on the challenging problem solving questions to finish with a very respectable 48 points and in 90th position.
The Games Day was a very successful and challenging day and a big congratulations goes out to the boys for their outstanding efforts.
