Students from our Top Set Year 10 class have been working on the Nrich maths problems with great success. They were given the puzzle Mixing Paint – in which they had to use their knowledge of ratios to solve a tricky problem involving shades of paint colours. There were some great answers by the students, and BISP student Moon’s solution was chosen by the Nrich team as one of the best answers given from schools globally.

“Great mathematicians need to be able to apply their mathematics skills to solve real life problems, so it’s great to see our students enjoying so much success in these puzzles when competing with students from around the world” said BISP Mathematics teacher Mr Chambers.
