2010 Herts Y5
Mathematics Challenge
The Year 5 Challenge has become a popular annual event. Each year approximately 800 Year 5 pupils enter the competition. The heats are always exciting, with an enthusiastic buzz in the school halls as pupils engage in ever more challenging questions.
The finals that take place in the Lecture Theatre in Hertfordshire University are an opportunity for bright mathematicians throughout Hertforshire to show their mathematical talents and skills. We are so proud of these exceptional pupils and the many teachers in our schools who 'light mathematical fires' and teach excitng mathematics lessons.

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.
