Within secondary, this is also a way for our students to gain house points. Each week a randomly selected student from each year group, who got the puzzle correct, will win 5 house points. So far the maths challenge club have been very passionate about answering each week and have earned, up to now, as much as 15 house points each.

 

You can see Mr Papini and Mr Holman (head scratching) having a good go at solving last week’s puzzle!
