Termly Challenges

Welcome to our Challenge page for maths
Each term you will see 5 maths challenges that follow a problem-solving theme. The challenges are numbered, 1 being for younger children or an easier challenge to get going and 5 being a really tricky task to tax the most confident mathematician. When you complete a challenge send it Mrs Jacques who will post it on the website and the school Dojo page. Certificates will be handed out at the end of each term for those who successfully complete each task.

Term 2 theme is: Trial and Error
In Maths, learners can use trial and error to solve problems. This means that learners think critically about the information they have been given and make educated guesses about what the answer might be. They substitute this guess into the problem (which is the trial part) to see if it is the correct missing piece.
