The maths department certainly rose to the challenge at the ‘Bond’ themed Year 11 Prom last night! Both staff and students had a fantastic evening at Beamish Hall, dancing the night away until the early hours.
Looking ahead, we’d also like to wish good luck to all of our Year 11 students in their upcoming GCSE maths exams! The whole department is already looking forward to watching you opening those envelopes in August…

As promised, here’s the link to Manga High for my Year 8 students. Use the user ID and password you’ve been provided with to log in to the site. There are three challenges to attempt, but you may wish to explore and try some of the other features of the website too.
I’m looking forward to seeing who makes it to the top of the leaderboards and hearing your feedback on this site!

Check out this excellent ratio game from Math Snacks. ’Ratio Rumble’ is a fantastic way to improve your understanding of ratio and it’s great fun too!
The battle is on in this game where you build your own potions! Check your ratios to win this mixture mix-off!

Just love this t-shirt design, combining 3-D shapes and ‘Star Wars’! ‘That’s no moon. It’s a space station.’
