International Math challenge IX – Bangkok

On the Friday and Saturday of the recent February Half Term Break, Mr Reilly and Mr Buck kindly agreed to represent Bangkok Prep at the International Math Challenge IX here in Bangkok. Teams from across the globe including Nigeria, Lao, Myanmar and the Philippines attended this long running and established competition. This was Bangkok Prep’s first attendance at this competition and we entered a team from each Year group 6 through to 10. Each team consisted of three members who, on Friday, competed as individuals to then create a team score. All of our students gained either an Honourable mention, Bronze, Silver or Gold Medal. Overall, after Day 1 we had 10 Golds, 6 Silvers and 4 Bronze!

What this meant was that the teams representing Year 7 and Year 10 were invited through to Day 2 of the Challenge.

Day two saw our Year 7 and Year 10 teams on stage competing in a live streamed on Facebook knuckle biting fastest on the buzzer shoot out!

We are incredibly pleased to announce that our Year 7 team of Pip, Ben and Alex and of Year 10 team of Pyncha, Rishabh and Nammon are now the proud winners of the International Math Challenge IX 2020. 

We will return again next year to attempt to reclaim our crown!

Well done to all competitors and a very special thank you to Mr Reilly and Mr Buck for giving up some of their holiday and their weekend to provide our students with this experience.
