Maths aces take up ‘feast’ of a challenge

Last week eight of our Year 10 mathematicians travelled to Linton Village College to compete in this year’s AMSP ‘Maths Feast’ Split into two teams of four, they competed against 14 other teams from schools all over Cambridgeshire

Whilst all problems involved maths, this threehour competition was also heavily reliant on superb teamwork and communication skills. The competition consisted of multiple rounds, each with a different mathematical focus, where students demonstrated their fantastic maths skills under time pressure, as well as answering advanced comprehension questions about the proof of theorems in mathematics.

While the competition does not announce an overall winner, one of the Comberton teams definitely won the first round

Well done to all eight mathematicians who took part: Felix (10V), Josie (10E), Lola (10T), Abigail (10T), Ella (10E), Tim (10C), Rufus (10V) and Cara (10V)

With the competition being at Linton, we were greeted by the familiar face of former Comberton maths teacher, Mrs Doza!
