World of Maths

 

On 5 December, our Year 7 and 8 GAT/AE students were immersed in a range of mathematics enrichment activities conducted by 'World of Maths'. The workshop gave them an opportunity to analyse mathematical problems through investigation, comparison and reflection. The students worked together in small teams and were engaged in a guided lesson to discover mathematical ideas in a fun environment. There was certainly a high level of energy in the room as the students put their minds together and cracked codes, solved puzzles or tried to figure out an escape plan in a fire situation.

 

Mount Lawley Senior High School extended the invitation to our feeder primary schools and welcomed twenty-six Year 5 students to be part of this mathematics enrichment workshop. The participants came from Highgate Primary School, Inglewood Primary School, North Perth Primary School and Yokine Primary School. It was so heartwarming to welcome these Year 5 visitors onto our campus. They were bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and buzzing with excitement. Ten of our Year 9 Academic Maths Enrichment students played host to our young visitors. They, too, were impressed by the level of enthusiasm displayed by these young minds while solving the maths puzzles and challenges. The feedback from Year 5 parents was very positive and they were grateful to Mount Lawley Senior High School for extending the invitation to their child to be part of this enrichment workshop.
