GECKO MATHS – DEFENDING CHAMPIONS

I am delighted to announce that one of our Year 6 Gecko Maths teams defended the title we won last year.  Gekco maths involves teams of four solving difficult word problems that require the teams to have strong mathmactical awareness and knowledge but it also tests their ability to work as a team.

Last Friday afternoon our Year 6 Gecko team, up against 8 x Year 7 teams from Island School and DBIS as well as Year 6 teams from Glenealy, Bradbury and Beacon Hill School, defended their title they won last year. The 6R team won and the 6A team came fourth (second if you exclude the Year 7 teams).

In year 6 out of all the other primary schools Peak School came 1st and 2nd. Including both the Year 7 and 8 teams we came 1st and 4th. Last year you may recall we came 1st and 2nd outright. No small achievement considering the number of students the other schools have to call upon. It Would certainly suggest our maths program is working very well particularly our problem solving.

The winning team from 6R included – Kate Chan, Ree Nie Kong, Zoee Nocom and Eugene Law

The 6A team that came 4th overall included – Darren Choi, Gus Leung, Dorian Grillet and Julian Wong
