As the saying goes: “every day is a school day” and last weekend at a meeting of the Teaching Committee of the Mathematical Association (the MA!) I found out about the primary maths challenge which is aimed at students in years 5 and 6. It is held every November with bonus rounds usually in the January/February and looks like this could be a good idea for secondary schools to introduce to their feeder schools (with the secondary school funding it as it isn’t that expensive!).

I’m certainly going to be asking if this is something we can do for/with our primary schools.
