Maths Whiz-Kids Have Yet Another Addition To Their Trophy Cabinet

July 12th, 2010

Pupils from Tollbar Business and Enterprise College had it all summed up as they were crowned overall winners of a county-wide maths challenge for the fourth consecutive year.

Held at Oasis Academy in Immingham, the Total Lindsey Oil Refinery and North East Lincolnshire Council Maths Challenge, saw 12 schools and colleges from the Grimsby area flex their mental muscles with mathematical puzzles and problem solving tasks.

Year 7 students Atalya Helm, Natasha Ramsden, Molly Burdett and Declan Edwards, all aged 12, took first place in their section of the challenge, while Year 8 students Emma Horsley, Molly Mills, Charlotte Havercroft and Amelia Croucher, all aged 13, took fourth place.

Their combined results meant the Tollbar team had scooped the overall prize for the highest number of points.

To cap it all, 12-year-old Molly Burdett took the prize for the best T-shirt logo design for the 2010 competition.

Molly said: "It was a really exciting challenge and winning that plus the logo design competition was just fantastic. We are all really proud."

Tollbar BEC maths curriculum leader Cecilia Riden said: "The students did extremely well in their individual team challenges and their scores overall enabled us to lift the trophy for the fourth consecutive year."

"The students worked extremely hard for this challenge and we are very proud of them. They are a credit to Tollbar."
