The Maths Extension & Enrichment group have spent the past few weeks developing their understanding of algebra, and learning how algebra can be used to solve complicated problems efficiently. They used this knowledge and their problem solving skills when working on ‘The Painted Cube’ challenge. It was amazing to see students being able to identify patterns, and write and apply algebraic rules to solve the problems without the need for tedious counting and calculations.

 I think it is going well. Some activities are going pretty well. Some activities are quite challenging. It’s a great idea to help us improve with others at the same level- Alan
