2008 Herts Y5
Mathematics Challenge
This year the Mathematics Advisory Team introduced the Year 5 Mathematics Challenge. We were thrilled with the response to this new initiative. 170 schools entered teams of 4 pupils for regional heats. These occurred throughout April and early May. The winning teams and highest ranked second place teams went through to the Final at Hertfordshire University on May 21st 2008.
The top three teams were awarded medals and all pupils received certificates for their participation.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the schools who hosted our Regional heats. Your hospitality, organisation and friendliness were much appreciated. Thanks also to all the teachers and parents who taxied the children to the venues.
Here is a small sample of the positive feedback we received:
I am writing to say thank you in regard to the year 5 maths challenge that my school hosted yesterday. My year 5 team thoroughly enjoyed themselves and as a host school it was lovely to see so many schools come together and celebrate maths as a subject.
Thank you ever so much for organising the challenge. The children really enjoyed it and the atmosphere was lovely.
It has done so much for the confidence of that group and for the status of maths in their class.

Subject Leader Clusters
What are subject leader cluster meetings?
Cluster meetings are an opportunity to keep up to date with news and current issues in your subject. They are also a chance to meet colleagues in your area. You will be involved in setting future agendas and the sessions will also offer opportunities for you to ask questions, raise concerns and share ideas and resources
What are they for?
- · Inform subject leaders of new developments in Primary Mathematics and Literacy;
- provide information as requested, on topical issues in your subject area;
- develop local support networks;
- provide opportunities for schools to share ‘best practice’;
- raise questions and liaise with LA consultants on a regular informal basis.
When and where?
There will be meetings held in each quadrant hosted by different schools. There will be one meeting every term. The first meeting will be a combined session for both Mathematics and Literacy subject leaders. Further meetings may be subject specific. A list of venues is shown in the document.
Choose the one you want to attend and book your place using the online booking system.
