Impressive Performance from Senior Maths Team

Hans Woyda Knock Out Round One

Caterham’s Hans Woyda team of Eva, Lucy, Haley, and Thomas from the Third Year, Fifth Year, Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth respectively, qualified from the group stage to the knockout rounds (finishing second in a group against Wilson’s, Nonsuch and Woldingham Schools). On 29 of January our mathematicians competed away against Alleyn’s School. We started really well and after the first three rounds (Starter, Geometry and Mental), Caterham was ahead by three points (23-20). In the next three rounds (team, calculator and algebra), Alleyn’s School managed to close the gap to one point (33-32). The game was super-exciting and the last round (the race) would decide the winner. Unfortunately, our opponents were faster which lead to a loss (46 – 33) and us getting knocked out of the competition. Our pupils really enjoyed the competition and the high standard of the competitors and are determined to do even better next year.
