Pi Day Activities – March 14th

10th Malta Mathematics Olympiad

On Tuesday, April 2nd, four of our Grade 9 students competed in the biennial Malta Mathematics Olympiad: Ahmed Al-Sadi, Molly Butler, Maria Cassar Torregiani and Jacopo Chincoli. The competition was in three rounds: the individual round, a pairs round, and then the team round. They practiced all year for the event, and it was a great experience.
