The “Paolo Volponi” comprehensive institute reached the national final of the Mathematical Games with student Lisa Casoli, enrolled in class 3B of the Urbino middle school. The event is part of the 31st edition of the International Championships organized by the Bocconi University of Milan and will be held on May 25th. “This year too, IC Volponi participated in the “Autumn Mathematical Games”, with over 100 participants between primary and secondary schools – explains Professor Sara Orazi, responsible for the games –. A competition in which the school is present for several years and which has seen hundreds of children pass by, for whom the games represent an opportunity to discover that mathematics also has intriguing and fun aspects”.
As winners, the institute ranking saw Tommaso Balsamini (2A), Pietro Antognoli (1B), Gianluca Bellazecca (1D) for the C1 category (first and second middle school), Sara Casoli (3C), Cesare Antognoli (3C) and Elena Fiorani (3B) for the C2 category (third middle school and first year of high school). In the next phase, the quarter-finals of the International Games, around 20 students joined the competition and several of them reached the semi-finals held in Pesaro. And it is here that Lisa Casoli, followed by Professor Francesco Frattallone, earned access to the national final. Together with her, to whom congratulations go from the director Maria Lorena Farinelli and from the whole school, IC Volponi thanks the students who participated in the Games, wishing them good luck for the next occasions.
