Challenge to find young maths star


KIBBLE VALLEY schools are being invited to take part in the annual competition to find Lancashire’s best young mathematician of the year. The contest, known as the BT Lancashire Schools


Mathematics Challenge, is open to all secondary school pupils in year seven and is designed to encour­ age problem solving. The district finals will be held this month and in


early May, with Kibble Valley schools competing at Accrington Moorhead High School next Tuesday, along with Hyndburn's budding mathematicians. Each school is allowed to enter two pupils and the


12 district final winners will meet in the county final at Chorley Woodlands Conference and In-Ser­ vice Centre on June 15th. The overall winner will be awarded the coveted Lancashire Mathematics Challenge Trophy and the pupils coming second and third will also receive prizes.
