On Tuesday 26 June, we welcomed 84 pupils from 20 primary schools across the region for the annual and very competitive Primary Mathematics Challenge. Teams of enthusiastic budding mathematicians from Year 5 represented their schools in this fun all-day competition by completing a variety of exciting and challenging problem-solving activities, from relay races to crossnumbers (the mathematical equivalent of a crossword, of course). Pupils used their team-working and puzzle-solving skills while having fun doing maths. There was a really lively atmosphere with something for every pupil, including a chance to sample one of the Maynard’s famous cookies!
