Maths Week

Maths Week 2016

We have had a fun week in the Maths Team this week doing the inter-house spaghetti bridge challenge.

The students loved the challenge and came up with some very interesting designs and ideas for bridges that could hold a bucket full of weights! There was some healthy competition between houses and some great celebrations when the results were announced for each year group. 

The results for each year group are below, showing the total weight held by all the bridges constructed for each house.

Well done to all of the students who took part!
