Primary Maths Challenge
Dear all
I have posted very few on this forum, though had been lurking around for quite sometime. Unfortunately, I only found out about this fantastic forum once my DD's level 1 11 plus exams were over. But, no regrets, since this excellent forum was tremendously helpful for her level 2 grammar and all the indies. Thanks to all the members and kudos to the brilliant moderators- she got into our first choice school.
Now over to my question- anyone in there with experience of primary maths challenge in London burroughs? Is it a written paper or like a quiz? Is there a lot of time pressure? Where can I find any past sample papers?
Sorry to ask so many questions, DD brought a letter about this yesterday for the competition next week, I feel quite clueless, am working the whole 2 weeks, hence wouldn't be able to meet her teachers.
Any pointers immensely appreciated
Many thanks

Re: Primary Maths Challenge
Hi
the primary maths challenge is run by the Mathematical Association and some past papers can be found here

But the challenge is done in November and a bonus round in February.
Maybe your daughter's school is doing an in-house thing perhaps using the above resources.
I would query it with them for your own peace of mind.

Thanks a lot, penguin. Seems that she is representing her school at the borough next week, maybe they did something earlier at school.
I am hoping that her Maths teacher will return my call.
Kindest regards

And thank you for your great compilation of the useful Maths websites- just came across it a short while ago- its simply amazing!!

Re: Primary Maths Challenge
Well there are team maths challenges. At secondary they work in groups of 4 but at Primary it varies.
I suspect they will be given problems to work on together against the clock.
Glad you like my resources post, when I get a moment (probably the summer holidays) it will be updated as I know some of the links need updating.
