Wairakei Primary School mathletes had great success at the annual Maths Matters competition.
Maths Matters is an annual team problem-solving competition open to Year 5 & 6 students. It takes place in the evening at Taupo Intermediate.
This year our two Year 5 teams battled each other to take out first and second places in the competition. There was a one-point difference in the final score between these two teams, so it was an exciting battle.
Two teams were also entered in the Year 6 competition. One of the teams took out second place in this competition.
Mathematics and problem solving are alive and well at Wairakei Primary School.
It looks like the Math Matters battle between these Year 5 teams is set to continue next year, and it is great to see our Year 6 team wanting to continue with the competition at Intermediate next year as well.
Aria’s reflection that we need more girls in the competition is important, and we definitely have some fantastic girl mathletes ready to accept this challenge in 2025.
