The Maths Achievement Challenge

THE MATHS ACHIEVEMENT CHALLENGE

The Maths Achievement Challenge is for Year 5/6 gifted and talented children at Maths. Students have to investigate 6 challenges according to their subject they chose (Cooking Tech, Sport, Travel…).

But the Maths Achievement Challenge was nearly cancelled because of the big earthquake in Christchurch. Why? The main centre is in Christchurch and was badly damaged in the quake.

On Thursday 17th March good news arrived for all the children who were in the challenges. Mrs Vane had received the cards which allowed the children to do the challenges. The Maths Achievement Challenge was all go!

As soon as the students finish one of their subjects, they receive a badge for a great accomplishment. When they finish 3 subjects they will receive A Super Challenge Badge.

Nina in Room 1 said, “I feel good about being in the Maths Achievement Challenge because it is fun”.

Many students are already enjoying doing the challenges and they are having fun.
