Team Maths 2022

SMGS were represented by 2 teams in the Cork Higher Level ‘Team Maths’ competition. Megan Flynn, Alison Higgins, Jamie Falvey and Michelle O’Keeffe joined up to make one team, and Thomas Falvey, Emma Harte, Matthew McCarthy and Christopher Murphy were the competitors in the other.

Well over 100 teams entered the competition from schools all around Cork, with the best 12 going on to represent Cork in the National finals. The quiz consisted of 8 rounds of questions, where students had to work together to solve mathematical problems.

The competition was tough, and despite doing very well, our students didn’t manage to qualify for the next round. Still, the experience will have stood to them very well for their forthcoming exams.
