Maths ends the week for Junior Cert students

The first of two maths papers for most Junior Certificate students brought an end to the first week of exams.

Elaine Devlin, an Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) subject spokesperson, said the papers taken by students at all three levels were nice.

Her higher-level students at De La Salle College in Dundalk were happy with Paper 1, in which she said many questions gave an example of how to do a task before candidates had to do some more on their own.
