Mathematics Clubs and Competitions

In order to provide a more challenging environment for students who are interested in mathematics and to encourage and reward excellence in mathematics the Maths Department runs two clubs:

the Junior Maths club for MYP students

the Senior Maths club for the IB students

Both clubs meet for one hour every week and everyone who likes maths is invited to join and participate. Contact the Subject Area Leader for Maths for more information. 

Students from the maths clubs regularly attend competitions run by ECIS, the European Council of International Schools, and by ISMTF, the International School Mathematics Teachers Foundation. Selection of the students attending the competitions is based on their mathematical talent and their active participation in the maths clubs.

In 2010, the Junior Maths competition in Paris will run between 4 - 7 February and the Senior Maths competition in Berlin between 25 - 28 February.

In addition to the above competitions, the Maths Department participates in the Kangaroo Maths Competition which is open to all ages and mathematical abilities, i.e., students in both Primary and Secondary.
