On Tuesday 7th May 2024, Daisy S, Zakaria, Phillip and Amelia took part in 2024 HFL EDUCATION YEAR 4 MATHEMATICS CHALLENGE, this was the first year in which Year 4 children could take part in and we are very proud of the 4 children who represented Parkside.

The competition is designed to be fun and it definitely challenged our team in many ways. Not least in the mathematical focus, but also in working ‘well’ as a team and agreeing answers within the time limit set. Collaborative working in mathematics (and in life) is a crucial skill. The competition challenges how well teams can work together.

Alongside practising strategies to solve mathematical questions and problems, it is also helpful to consider how to be a great team.

A massive thank you to Miss Moon for supporting the children during the live zoom event.
