2022 Maths Competition Goes Virtual! Matthew Blake Head of Mathematics / Junior School Teacher, Haileybury Almaty
L
ike many of you reading this, my first involvement with the FOBISIA Primary Maths Competition was when, as a school, we were preparing to bring our students to Kuala Lumpur for the 2020 version of the event. Of course, none of us were quite ready for what was about to become of the world for the next eighteen months and unfortunately, for the time being at least, international travel remains a distant memory for most of us. However, this inability to travel does not mean that children should miss out and so we are delighted to invite all FOBISIA Member Schools to join our two day Key Stage 2 Online Maths Competition, scheduled for 17- 18 March 2022. The event, although online, will be run live and will see teams of four battling it out via videolink
over two days of competition in a range of olympiad style challenges against other Member Schools across FOBISIA. The intention is for the standard to be set for the highest attaining students in Key Stage 2. A maximum of two teams per school are allowed to enter. The competition will be hosted by Haileybury Almaty in Kazakhstan, and we are fortunate to have a specialist Maths Olympiad teacher within our school, who will help craft tasks that are both challenging and engaging for all students. If your FOBISIA school is interested in joining the competition, or would like to find out more, please register your interest here and we hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be an exciting challenge.
