Pupils Enjoy Maths Week England 2025
01 Dec
Crescent took part in Maths Week England in November and, as part of this, competed in an Inter-House Maths Competition, where children went round school finding answers to a range of maths questions.
Classes 5F and 6W took part in the Maths Week England puzzles set every day including ‘The New York Puzzle’ and ‘The Consecutive Digital Sum’ puzzle all under the title, ‘Connections and Coincidences’. Pupils really enjoyed the open-ended nature of these puzzles and the chance to collaborate with each other.
There was plenty of enthusiasm and the November’s Learner Profile trait of ‘DETERMINATION’ was definitely on show.
The children also added their results to the ‘Pi Drop’ World Record attempt. Apparently, if you drop sticks in measured zones, the number that touch the line divided by the total drop will equal Pi.
