Four Pupils Awarded Gold In Primary Maths Challenge

The Primary Mathematics Challenge is a fun and exciting mathematical Challenge aimed at pupils in Years 5 and 6. It is not designed to be just another test in the school year. Instead, it encourages enthusiasm, boosts confidence in mathematics and shows the different way questions can be asked. 

The PMC is designed to make pupils think outside the box. The questions asked are not necessarily subjects that have been covered in the curriculum by this time, but the questions can create a great starting point and lead to discussions later in the year. The questions are not heavily reliant on formal mathematical knowledge but can be solved by logical reasoning.

At Crackley this year we had 20 Junior 6 pupils and 10 Junior 5 pupils take the Primary Maths Challenge and we are delighted with the results.

Gold – Ding, Arthur, Beatrice, Elizabeth,
Silver – Ben, Isaac, Sara, Darcey, Elora, Finley, Molly, Fergus
Bronze – Charlotte, Eleanor, Harrison, Harry, Jessie, Jenson, Ted, Felix, Sebastian, Sienna.

The Gold and Silver winners have had their scores submitted to go through to the next round, but this will depend on what the threshold score is this year. A huge well done to all pupils who took part!
