THEY have been crunching numbers in Mercy Mounthawk all week for Maths Week Ireland.
Leading the national celebration of maths were the Transition Year class who developed games for them and Second Year students who were invited to join. The games focused on all around problem solving and it was a worthwhile exercise enjoyed by students.
