Maths success for Dundalk Grammar School

Three transition year students from Dundalk Grammar School were awarded trophies for winning the Irish Mathematics Teachers Association (IMTA) Maggie Gough Problem-Solving Competition.

The competition was aimed at all 2nd, 4th & 5th years nationally and took place during Maths Week 2023.

Over 18,700 students entered the problem-solving competition nationally and those who succeeded in 16 or more of the 20 questions were deemed winners.

Only 55 of the competitors (top 0.3%) were successful.

The competition is named after Maggie Gough who is the first known Irish woman to receive a PhD in mathematics.

All at Dundalk Grammar School are very proud of the students' achievement!
