Cars Maths in Motion 26 Jun 2008 10:00 pm

Virtual cars, real prize winners

What a fantastic day! It was the National Final of the Jaguar Cars Maths in Motion Challenge and Dr Challoner’s Grammar School from Buckinghamshire came third in the KS3 age range at the National Final of the Jaguar Cars Maths in Motion 2007/8!!!!

Dr Challoner’s were one of 33 schools who attended the final. There were 11 primary, 11 KS3 and 11 KS4 teams who took part.

In the morning pupils prepared their cars and in the afternoon there was one race for all teams. The top team from each age range would be the winner wherever they finished in the race and the overall winner across all age ranges would of course be the team that finished in first place.

Dr Challoner’s Grammar were 25th on the grid of 33 schools (11 from each age range). As the race progressed they slowly climbed up the leader board and as they completed the final lap they had reached 12th position which gained them third place in the KS3 age range!

Full details of the day and finishing positions can be found on the Maths Challenge website.

Congratulations, Dr Challoner’s Grammar School! :)
