The Chronicle

The First Mathematics Challenge is a fun and exciting mathematical challenge aimed at pupils in Years 3 and 4. The First Mathematics Challenge (FMC) has been specifically created to give pupils the opportunity to take part in a National Challenge. It is the intention that mathematics is portrayed as enjoyable, exciting and engaging for younger pupils and the FMC should provide an entertaining yet educational ending to the school year. It is not designed to be just another test in the school year, instead it encourages enthusiasm, boosts confidence in mathematics and shows how questions can be asked in different ways. The problem solving it requires is hugely important as a means of helping pupils develop their reasoning skills.

At Crackley this year we had 14 Year 4 pupils and 14 Year 3 pupils take the First Maths Challenge.

Many congratulations to the following pupils who were awarded certificates following the challenge:

Gold – Arthur Cowell, Ding Fan, Matilda Clarke, Theo Cowlishaw, Lucas Hobson, Kate Knudsen, Julia Kozhan, Jia Mehta, Andrew Parizzi, Georgie Rea,

Silver – Phoebe Ward, Sara Alvis, Beatrice Parizzi, Molly Hunka, Darcey Wilcox Smith, Thomas Reddish, Elizabeth Edkins, Finley O’Halloran, Mairen Steel, Isabella Olden, Elena, Jay Jonah, Leo Warne,

Bronze – Fraser Conniff, Sebastian Rotherham, Ted Higginbotham, Isaac Fox, Penny Thomas

Well done to all pupils who took part!
