Year 9 Maths Games - Federation University

Last Wednesday I was one of eight students in year 9 who were lucky enough to get to go to a Maths Games Day at Federation University, in Churchill.  We arrived bright and early and after splitting into two teams, we were faced with the first challenge; Maths Sudoku. By the time recess came, Team 2 had managed to complete the most out of everybody and were in the lead!

Grabbing our snacks, we wandered around the seemingly never-ending corridors, finding the canteen, nearly interrupting a science class and admiring the beautiful lake from warmth of inside the uni.

The second challenge was forty-five minutes to solve twenty problems as a group. The difference in the winners was down to only a few points when we went to lunch.

Bolstered by hot chips from the canteen, everybody was ready for the final challenge, which was a range of maths games finishing off with a nail-biting relay. Both teams did great and when the final results came in Mary MacKillop Team 2 had come third! We went up to collect our prize; a ruler and a voucher for 25 dollars. 

A big thanks to Ms. Collins, Mr. Sheahan and everybody else who made sure we had an awesome day.
