Primary Maths Team Challenge

The Maynard hosts the Primary Maths Challenge each June with teams from local primary schools taking part in a variety of activities and problem-solving tasks. 

Aims

To build relationships with local primary schools and to help links with the local community by sharing our resources and specialist teaching. Could be a part of a gifted and talented programme.

Background

The Maths department at The Maynard initiated this project as a way to engage with the community and a resource to provide to our own students. This has been taking place for over 5 years. 

Resources
