A RECENT maths retreat in Nieu-Bethesda proved a winning formula for Union High School’s Grade 11s.
During this annual excursion, the learners do more than just the regular run-of-the-mill mathematics.
Here, they take a look beyond what is covered in the syllabus.
During this year’s camp, the learners built their confidence in the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio and two- and three-dimensional fractiles.
The learners also had some time to apply their knowledge by solving problems and cracking codes which were designed by maths teacher, Elrich Jantjies.
On August 31, they took a walk to find fractiles in the real world, an activity that was unfortunately cut short by rain.
Every year, the maths camp is a tremendous success and thoroughly enjoyed by all involved.
