ISCOT MATHEMATICS COMPETITION

Tuesday, 28th February, saw us host our fourth ISCOT Mathematics competition against TEDA, IST and TIS. Each of the two competition levels, middle and upper school, consisted of 4 rounds. The Group Round relied on accuracy, with a Relay element encouraging speed and the Crossnumber Challenge forcing each to communicate well as a team. By the final round it was close between all schools, with the top two teams being separated by only a few points. For this round students solved a range of puzzles on shape, special awareness and logic. The Senior team did well to finish second in a tough group, and the Middle School team ran out clear winners – well done to all those who took part! All of the contestants thoroughly enjoyed themselves and no one left empty handed as all competitors received a Wellington College International Tianjin Rubik’s Cube. We look forward to hosting again next year and retaining our titles.
