Students at Highfields celebrated World Maths Day in style this year, with a range of challenges and competitions for all year groups to get involved with.
First held in 2007, World Maths Day is now celebrated each year and encourages students across the globe to enjoy the fun of maths!
During the day, students entered an online competition on Mathletics where they were playing maths related games against students all around the world in a series of competitions and tournaments.
Additionally, at lunchtime pies were served decorated with the Pi symbol along with cakes garnished with ‘I love Maths’ icing. These treats went down very well with students and teachers alike - and certainly got us all talking more about maths!
Miss Green, who led the competitions on the day, said, “Students don't always see the link between maths now and the importance of it when they grow older, so days like this engage them and encourage us all to enjoy maths to the fullest before the next stage of their education.”
