Junior Syndicate Maths Bake Off
By Nyree Alcock
The 5th Junior Syndicate Maths Bake Off took place on Monday 8th August.
31 Y7 and 8 students took up the challenge to create cakes or biscuits decorated with a mathematical topic. There was a preponderance of whole numbers, symbols and fractions, with calculators also well represented. The playful side of maths was represented by sudoku, a Rubik’s cube and several sets of dominos. Thank you to our judges: Ms Coll, Ms Bosch, Mr Boyd and Mr George, who relished the opportunity to eat cake and think about the wonders of maths together. The Junior Syndicate were invited to partake of the baking during the first interval, and everything proved very popular. Congratulations to all the bakers who took part.
