Team Steinmühle/Philippinum Won the Math Competition

Students from Steinmühle and Philippinum were named the best team in Hesse in their grade level at the international Bolyai Mathematics Competition. In the 5th-grade category, Steinmühle students Sophia Rogosch and Teresa Katharina Dinges won alongside Jonathan Hundt and Leo Yu’an (both from Philippinum). We extend our heartfelt congratulations on this shared success!

The competition’s motto is: “The ability to collaborate is a core value in our lives.” What makes this competition so appealing is that students, working in teams of four within the allotted 60-minute time frame, can discuss both the problems and the provided solutions and skillfully divide up the work. What makes it particularly challenging is that, out of the five answer choices provided for each question, several may be correct. In one of the tasks, all five provided answers were actually correct. Of course, our math whizzes recognized this. Great job! Congratulations!
