1st Math Class Competition

On last Friday, Mar 31th , there was a math competition between teams G3/4 in our Math class. The two teams were competitive. In the “must-answer” round, both teams scored the same points, resulting in a tie. In the “fast-answer” round, the Cats team remained calm despite being slightly behind. Finally, they answered the last question correctly, completing a comeback and winning the game with a two-point advantage. The members of the Cats team are:

Anthea

Emma

Henry

Katherina

Miranda Lin

Ruiming

Winnie

Stephie

Congratulations! The Cats team’s perseverance and cooperation during the game were particularly commendable, especially when they encountered difficulties. Despite the challenges, they remained focused and determined to succeed. In the end, Katherina‘s exceptional skills and hard work paid off as she completed the winning question, securing their victory.

Although the Rabbits team narrowly lost the competition in the end, the children demonstrated great enthusiasm and skill throughout the game. They had a strong lead for most of the competition, thanks in part to the exceptional performance of Jerry, the youngest player in the second grade. During a dull moment in the first half, Jerry’s two-point contribution lifted the Rabbit team’s morale and kept them in the game. Even though they fell short in the end, the Rabbits team can be proud of their valiant effort and the positive attitude they displayed throughout the competition.
