Pupils attend Maths Competition at UCT

Thousands of high school learners poured into UCT on 21 April to participate in the 32nd annual UCT Mathematics Competition.

The 7 000 grade-8 to -12 budding mathematicians from 135 schools across the Western Cape were spread out across 50 lecture theatres and tutorial rooms to tackle maths problems.

The competition, sponsored by Aurecon, aims to spark secondary-level development in maths, an invaluable skill in most areas of study, and to give learners an opportunity to enjoy the subject.
