Mathematics

For the AS papers, the percentages were 73% A to C with 48% being A grades. At A Level, 84% of the candidates secured grades of A* to C with 52% being A* or A.

Mr. John Njoroge - Teacher of Mathematics

Mr. Antony Mogere - Teacher of Mathematics e results for the 2021/22 examinations were no exception. At IGCSE, the A* to C (or 9 to 4 as it is now known) was 98% with over half recording grades of A* or A.

Peponi School places a strong emphasis on Mathematics as part of the core of its academic program. Beyond the content of the course, the school recognises the importance of teaching valuable problem-solving skills and logical thinking. Our goal is to prepare pupils for real-world challenges in all areas of life, work, and study. Peponi encourages each pupil to approach Mathematics with a positive attitude, con dence, skill, and enjoyment. is approach has proven very successful, as Mathematics is one of the most popular subjects at the school. While it is mandatory at IGCSE, many pupils choose to continue studying it at A-level and beyond. At the moment, 71% of VI Form students opt to do so, making it easily the most chosen subject. Peponi takes great pride in its pupils' achievements, as they consistently produce excellent results across all levels of Mathematics.

Our junior years continue to shine at a range of external Mathematics competitions held by the University of Waterloo, Canada. Our Shell pupils will sit for the Gauss Contest just before Prize Giving so we must wait for those results but our Lower and Upper V pupils sat respectively for the Pascal and Cayley Contests in Hilary with some outstanding results. Our top performers were;

Pascal 1st - Rohin Sharma

2nd - Tirth Shah

3rd - Nesa Kochhar

4th - Njeri Kibuchi

5th - Saanvi Vora

Cayley 1st - Samskara Shah

2nd - Prinay Galaiya

2nd - Dev Gardi

4th - Pasha Haria

4th - Netania Mwaura ese contests are very demanding, and our winners’ scores compare very well to those from all around the world. Samskara’s score was particularly noteworthy. She was comfortably within the top 5% of about 36,000 entries worldwide and she was listed in the International Roll of Honour published by the university.

In addition to the ‘internationals’ we have our internal, junior series of challenges. Several problems are set over the course of a term that require problem-solving abilities over and above those needed for the standard curricula. Each term, the Fermat Cup is presented to the pupil that has solved the most in the best style. ere have been several close-fought battles this year and emerging from these, our recent winners are are;

Trinity 2022 – Diva Shah

Michaelmas 2022 – Rian Shah & Yuv Galaiya

Hilary 2023 – Rian Shah

Congratulations go to all those mentioned above but also to all the many other pupils that
