Two Pupils Awarded Gold In Primary Maths Challenge

The Primary Mathematics Challenge (PMC) 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, the PMC encourages enthusiasm, boosts confidence in mathematics and shows the different way questions can be asked.

The PMC encourages problem solving, which is hugely important as a means of helping pupils develop their reasoning skills. It helps pupils think outside the box. The questions are not heavily reliant on formal mathematical knowledge but can be solved by logical reasoning.

At Crackley Hall this year we had 16 Junior 6 pupils, and 12 Junior 5 pupils take part in the Primary Maths Challenge.

Our congratulations go to the following who were awarded certificates:
Gold – Eleanor, Charlotte
Silver – Harrison, Evie, Leo, Felix, Grace, Mahnoor, Shuvan, Beatrice, Himmy
Bronze – Jessie, Josh, Rohan, Swaran, Charlie, Alex, Ben, Archie, Zach, Remy, Edward.

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.

Well done to all pupils who took part!
