At the initiative of a few math teachers, students can improve their skills in mathematical logic, computer science and digital sciences. All in a playful way. Other initiatives continue: Mathematical Rally, Maths in Jeans, etc.
The Computer Castor Contest
The high school’s mathematics teachers, Mrs BENA-TEAU and Mr. SIMON, as well as Mr. GRALL, are participating all their second-graders in the “Castor Informatics” competition. It takes place in St. Paul during the first week of December.
The test allows, in pairs, to discover the various aspects of computer science. According to the Eduscol website, it covers various aspects of computing: information and representation, algorithmic thinking, application use, data structures, logic games, computing and society.
The name of this competition is the result of a problem computational theory linked to a Turing machine.
A special MATHS Advent Calendar
For the past four years, the math teachers BENA-TEAU and SIMON have been offering all their students an Advent calendar based on questions and puzzles from their discipline. Example: “The exact value of a 10-foot diameter disk is 100 ft. A – true; “L – false.” Because the answer is “false,” the letter found is “L.” It will help find the final message on December 20. In the meantime, it is a matter of answering the question every day and finding the right answer to get the letter. The fastest one wins a chocolate as a bonus!
When you’re told that math is fun…
