The best side of the Filipino math crunchers shines once again as ninety seven have been triumphant to grasp top honors for the country at the 2013 International Mathematics and Assessments for Schools (IMAS) conducted in November last year.

From a close 2000 Filipino participants, more than 800 threaded their way through the top, earning high distinction certificates for notching scores above 95 percentile, distinction certificates for achieving scores above 85 and below 95 percentile, and credit certificates for scoring above 50 and below 85 percentile.

Just as many Filipino math achievers who made great headway in the international math contests, 97 went through great lengths in IMAS, winning high distinction awards with the chance to claim their stake for more excellence in the second round scheduled next month.

This year a total of 162 whiz kids stayed ahead of the pack for breezing away with the distinction award while 574 others succeeded to get credit certificates.
