LORD WANDSWORTH STUDENTS TRIUMPH IN MATHS CHALLENGE

Earlier this month, 21 schools from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight competed in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust regional team challenge. The event took place at the “Intech” science centre near Winchester. This was an event for 6th form mathematicians. Students took part in three different rounds of questions, including a “cross number” round where two of the team had the across clues, and two had the down clues, and they had to piece the answers together.

The event was won by the team from Lord Wandsworth College, whose members were Leonie Field, Kenneth Yang, Max Thomas and Joshua Pashley. The team will go on to compete in the National Final in London on 3rd February 2010, with prizes presented by Marcus du Sautoy.
