If you have a go, please let me know if you submit a solution . I would love to share your success and enjoyment during Special Mention Assembly.

14th November 2022

Today, is the start of Maths Week England and to celebrate this St Martin's and St. Therese's Classes joined with between 6 and 8 thousand children from 275 schools across Great Britian to have a live Problem-Solving lesson hosted by Charlie and Liz from NRICH.

Please see the photographs below this post.

We had a fun 45-minute session solving various number problems and learning more about the NRICH website.

I witnessed such enthusiasm and engagement from the children, as well as seeing a real sense of fun in learning and trying out different solutions to the problems that it was a fantastic start to the week.

Charlie and Liz introduced the children to the `Live Problems on the NRICH site which the children can have a go at themselves and submit their reasoning and answers to NRICH themselves to share their joy of learning.

You can access the live problems :
