Stunning Mathletics Success – Hamilton College Praised by MP
Mr. Jim Hood, MP for Lanark and Hamilton East, was treated to a Mathletics demonstration by some of the P7 pupils at Hamilton College on Friday 26 March. Mr. Hood had been invited to the College by Scotland’s Mathletics Ambassador, P7 student Olivia Greener.
Speaking from his constituency office Mr. Hood said:
“ What a fantastic achievement for the college where its students secured the top three places in Scotland – with P7 student, Sharan Maiya, coming fourth in the world out of over a million students from over 56,000 schools.
I was delighted when I received Olivia’s invitation. My visit to the college allowed me to see what Mathletics is all about – what a fascinating experience to share “maths space” with all those different countries.
A well deserved congratulations to all the students and to the college for such an incredible achievement. Well done indeed!”
