Primary Maths Challenge
A selection of children in Years 4 - 6 carried out the Primary Maths
Challenge in November. During Maths Club, we have been looking at some
really challenging Maths problems to help develop our problem-solving
skills as well as our resilience when the answer is not immediately
obvious.
Examples of the types of problems posed include:
Jenny Juice was picking strawberries in a field. When she dropped a bowl of strawberries on the ground, one third of them were eaten by wasps, one quarter by ants and one sixth by maggots.
Abigail, Belinda, Clare, Deidre and Emma are 5 friends who always eat school dinners together. They decide that each school day they will line up in a different order. There are 5 days in every school week. How long can they do this before they have to repeat an order they have used before? (HINT: Work systematically.)
