The Otago Maths Group are taking part in the Problem Solving Competition run by the University of Otago. Over Terms 2 and 3 the students complete five sets of five problems in half an hour. We have kept a record of the total number of correct answers achieved by the group. Look at our progress over the three sets we have completed so far! In the first set we solved 53% of the problems but by Set 3 we improved our problem solving skills and solved 75% of the problems correctly. Keep it up you clever mathematicians!Wednesday, June 26, 2013

successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of
“grit” as a predictor of success.
