Regents Review Winter 22-23

The Regents Review Winter 2022

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS

Maths Competition On Wednesday 9th November, 16 Year 10 students took part in a city-wide maths competition, which involved 4 other local secondary schools. The competition involved them working in groups of four to complete some problem-solving questions under a time limit. These questions involved students thinking outside of the box, and applying the skills they have learnt in maths classes to new problems. While results were being counted, students were treated to a lecture on ‘where

do numbers come from?’ This investigated whether numbers were created or discovered – the jury is still out! Within this lecture, many real-life mathematical conundrums were addressed: ‘Why is A4 the size it is (210mm x 297mm)?’ ‘Why is A4 called A4?’ For the answers you will have to ask one of the following students: Ezra, Lucy, Robyn, Lilla, Hong, Tyler, Natalia-Mai, Julia, Layla, Oliwia, Lewis, James, Eve, Lola, Stanley & Faith Finally, the results were revealed, and our students did Regents Park proud by coming 1st and 3rd in the competition.

All students were invited to a celebratory hot chocolate with Mrs Barnes on Friday 25th November. The Maths Department would like to say a massive congratulations to these students, and to express how proud we are of their exceptional problem-solving skills and teamwork.
