Today was the last CryptoCrackers session for our S6 pupils before they go off on study leave. A huge thank you to the Codecracking Catz + Disha for being fantastic ambassadors, and to Katie in particular for being a brilliant club captain👩✈️We’ll miss you all!
2025 - a Mathematical Marvel!
1. 2025 itself is a square,
45 x 45 = 2025
2. It's the product of two squares,
9² x 5² = 2025
3. It is the sum of three squares,
40²+ 20²+5²= 2025
4. It's the sum of cubes from 1 to 9,
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³= 2025.
S1 LOVED tackling the @dressCodeHQ advent calendar. ‘More epic than a chocolate calendar’ apparently! I’d have to agree.
The CryptoCrackers are going to love this! Can’t wait! @missdicksonmath
Off course! We have our two new 2024 #CyberAdvent calendar a primary version and secondary version! Both will open on the 1st of December 🎄 🎅

When the code breaking gets so intense you need to stand up! The CryptoCrackers were working hard on the @Cipher_Master challenges this afternoon.

Always love to see the CryptoCrackersClub. Say hi to them from me and wish them luck!
Mini Maths Murder Mystery excitement today with S1 while consolidating our work on multiples, primes, factors, powers and roots.
S2 relay winners from today. Well done Harris, Jack and (photo shy) Cairn. It was a close run thing but the boys showed great team work and knowledge of the S2 course so far.
S2 do love a wee tarsia puzzle and they did really well with today’s tricky task on significant figures. Superb work from Ruby B and Darcy who managed to complete theirs!

Good luck to all of our candidates sitting the National 5 exam tomorrow. Your hard work will pay off!
Some lovely peer to peer support going on in my S2 class this morning while we were working on finding the nth term. Witnessing wee moments like these makes my day!
Extended this task today to allow the rest of the class to take part. My ‘Principal Assessors’ each supported a partner to mark and provide written feedback on common prelim errors.Loved hearing their discussions. Thanks @bones_carmel for the inspiration!
Prelim review Ms Thomson’s S4 so the mega white boards are out and she’s ‘mocked up’ a paper (laid a minefield as Mr Moon would say) full of opportunities to find & fix based on THEIR gaps 🙌🏻❤️ @MearnsCastleHT @MearnsCastleHS @MCHSMathsDept @mrstewart314 @gtcs 🏴 @osirisedu #oti

Absolutely loved seeing all of our teams so completely engaged in solving chapter 4!
Our CryptoCrackers teams were working hard on the @Cipher_Master challenge yesterday. Our new members have learned so many skills already, and are showing great focus and determination with each new chapter!

We have a fantastic group of S6 Maths Ambassadors ready to embark on the first week in their new role. We know they are going to be excellent representatives for the department!
