Maths extension commenced at the start of the year. There are three groups, year 6, 7 and 8. We are taught by Mr Bill Ellwood, who has retired from being the head of department of maths at Burnside High School. Recently, the year 8 students have been learning about quadratic equations and the year 7 students have been studying about prime number theories and also the great mathematicians that discovered those theories. Today the year 7s also learnt about happy numbers. This is how you know if a number is a happy number....
You square each digit in a number and add them together. If in the end the numbers add up to be 1, it is a happy number.
