Mathematics Day 2025-26
As the Pie Day was approaching, we are thrilled and excited to announce the successful conclusion of the Math Day 2025-2026. This year, we are focusing on fostering Pooikeinians’ skills for critical thinking and thinking outside the box.
In the Reading Across Curriculum session, Ms. Candy Wong, Deputy Head of Mathematics Department, shared with students reverse thinking skills, accompanied by the whole-school individual problem-solving competition.
Math lessons in the week were also conducted in a way different from the typical lesson setting. We brought lots of board games, including Rummikub and the Strategy Game, into the lesson with an aim of arousing students’ interests in exploration in the world of Mathematics with joy and laughter.
In the lunch session, here came the highlight of the Math Day – Problem Solving Competition. Not only was it rewardable and challenging, but also students further broadened their horizon and to had a glimpse of Mathematics outside the textbook. Students gained the sense of fulfillment by how successfully the knowledge they learned can be applied to daily-life situations.
Prizes were awarded to the top-performing teams in the SPKC Problem Solving Competition. Awardees are as follows:
Champion of Senior Form: 5F CHENG Sum Yin 5F LAI Tsz Him 5F LAU Ngai Wang | 1st Runner-up of Senior Form: 5F CHAN Yik Lai 5F CHAN Long Fung James 5F LAM Cheuk Nam | 2nd Runner-up of Senior Form: 5H KWAN Shing Tin Samuel 5H WONG Ching Hin Matthew 5P TSO Kwan Ho |

We beautifully conclude the Math Day with Inter-House Factorization Competition. This year, we expand our scope to the whole school. Using the Reverse Thinking Technique, Form one students were also capable of participating the Factorization Competition, a topic they had never studied before.
The results of the Inter-house Factorization Competition are as follows:
Champion: King House
First runner-up: Priest House
Second runner-up: Christ House
We are incredibly proud of our students’ enthusiasm and participation in the Math Day. They demonstrated impressive problem-solving skills and thoroughly enjoyed the various activities. We look forward to continuing to foster an appreciation for Mathematics among our students.
