HANS WOYDA TEAM QUALIFY

On Tuesday 21 January, the Caterham Hans Woyda team (Lisa, Gracie, Lingjun and Lucy) hosted Colfe’s school for the first round of the knock out stage of the plate competition.

Despite a slow start in the first two rounds (Starter and Geometry) where Caterham was behind by 4 points (12 vs 16), a magnificent performance in the third round (mental maths) gave us a lead of 1 point. A strong performance in the group round, where all four students from the different year groups (3rd, 5th, L6 and U6) worked together to find solutions to a Diophantine equation, gave Caterham a comfortable lead which was increased even further in the last three rounds (Calculator, Algebra and Calculus and Race).

Once again, a fantastic performance from the Caterham students leading to a 37-28 victory, qualifying for the second knock out round! Congratulations to all involved!
