2016 Maths Olympics Ready to Go

Maths Society of Education Al- Khwarizmi is organising the Maths Olympics for the current year. Only the best among the best in the Valencian Community are called to participate.

This year, María Inmaculada School has got many students who were very interested in taking part in this activity, but eventually only the best maths students have been chosen.

We have brilliant maths students to participate this year, for example: 4º of ESO has got what we call in Spanish two maths machines, they are Alfonso M. A. and Pablo C. M. and 3º of ESO has got excellent students as well, they are Isabel M. C., Andrea C. G. and Paula G. A (In the end Paula has been called to substitute Pablo, who had his ankle twisted a couple of days ago). Another eight students from Primary and Secondary education complete this incredible Maths Team who will represent us.

This year the Maths Olympics first round in Valencia will be held in Salesianos School at Avda. de la Plata, 10 on April 16th.

The students were selected by Maria Inmaculada´s Science Department taking into account the best grades on Maths up to now throughout the school year. Everybody in the school is happy with the final election because they think these boys and girls are excellent students indeed.

Anyway, as soon as possible, we will provide you with further details on the event in our CMI News section.
