Theresa Hinton Places Third in Mathematics Essay Competition
May 22, 2003 — The Bermuda Council of Teachers of Mathematics hosted their first Mathematics Essay Competition in April to celebrate Mathematics Month. Through this event the organisation's aim was to heighten awareness of the importance of mathematics education in the community and its benefits to all students.
This year's topics were "What Would My World Be Without Numbers?" for the Primary level and "Math - Who Needs It?" for the Middle and Senior School levels. Almost 300 entries were received from public and private schools and a panel of nine judges from the community determined the top three winners from each level.
