Monday 8 August was Year 9 Maths Games Day, a day
to explore and challenge our mathematical abilities in captivating and
real-life applicable ways.
Seven others, Ms. Lesnjak and I started the day with
a trip to Southern Cross Grammar, who openly welcomed us to an organised,
communal event. With over thirty schools attending, split into groups, we were
able to bond over a skill of math through a series of games and tests.
Beginning the day, we participated in a strategic game of Ken-Ken puzzles, a
different form of Sudoku. Following recess, we came back to the most
challenging part of the day; the problem-solving group test. With a set of
twenty questions, we were challenged with numerous problem-solving worded
equations. We were challenged to test all our mathematical knowledge in order
to solve these challenging questions.
Once again, followed by lunch, we came back to a
school versus school math tournament. Finally, to finish off, we competed in a
group relay, with various questions to answer in a limited amount of time.
Although we did not come out as the top school, we
came out with a good day overall and a memorable school event to look back to.
