our own schools mathsweek

Comments on the past weeks maths competition.

Stats
Monday = 42
Tuesday = 34
Wednesday = 26
Thursday = 16
Friday = 6

Out of 1814 students able to compete each day, I am not too sure how this has been successful. Though comments about the number of paper entries during the same period last year suggests the same.

Things I need to consider if running this next year.

An Admin system for the maths staff to login and check the results
The system working out what day it is and displaying the correct days questions
Not importing all the students into the system, self registration might be possible
Not limiting long answers to varchar(50), may have to use the text field next year
Not leaving this to the last minute to design and implement.
