On February 27th, all Year 7 students participated in the first round of the Gecko Maths tournament. It was an exciting event where students worked in mixed-ability teams of 4–5 to solve various mathematical problems. After a 30-minute competition and a tiebreaker, Einstein was declared the winner with 133 points, followed closely by Fleming with 125 points.
The highest-scoring team from each form then advanced to the Gecko Maths Finals on Thursday, March 12th. Joining our 12 Year 7 teams were two teams each from Beacon Hill, Glenealy, and The Peak. Following 25 minutes of regular play and a three-way tiebreaker, Ayoung WON, Chloe IP, Emma LEE, Joshua BI, and David CHEN from 7FS emerged as the winners, with 7ES and 7EK as narrow runners-up. The success of these two teams secured Einstein’s title as the overall House winner for Gecko Maths this year.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and a big thank you to our 7 Y12 Students who were brilliant markers for the competition. We look forward to hosting the tournament again next year!
