Dragon Maths 2018

On 8 March 2018, 16 KGV students travelled to Chinese International School to participate in Dragon Maths 2018, a mathematics competition for the most able students in Hong Kong in Year 8 and 9. KGV had 2 teams of Year 8 and 2 teams of Year 9.  There were  27 schools, over 400 students. Last year we reported that the Year 9 KGV team came second, beaten by ONE point!!  Again, this year we have to report that our Year 8 team came second…. beaten by ONE point!!  Congratulations to our Year 8 team, David Han, Katherine Yan, Jack Xiang and David Yang.  A great day was had by all and the students came back buzzing!  We will win next year!

Here are some of the students’ comments:

Daniel – “Dragon Maths was both a physically and mentally fun experience for all of us. We were challenged to many different questions, tested to our limits, along with running around like headless chickens”

Terence: “I really enjoyed the fun that was today, I loved having a challenge that was way past our level as it shows us there is so much more to learn”

Parul: “I personally think that Dragon Maths is an outstanding experience and provides a lot of space for learning and improvement. I am thankful for being able to represent KGV in Dragon Maths”
