Year 8 Success! Brain Blaster Maths Challenge Day
A school trip was organised for some of our highest achieving Able, Gifted and Talented students. Eleven carefully selected Year 8 students went to Chace Community School to take part in a Brain Blaster Maths challenge day on Wednesday 12th October 2016.
The Brain Blaster sessions focus on practical team work and mathematical problem solving, supporting students to develop resilience, perseverance and clear and accurate communication skills as well as applying knowledge to novel situations.
This involved working together in mixed school teams to undertake practical puzzle activities that increases pupils’ awareness of the application of Maths. Each activity was designed to develop skills that will be needed in the workplace and teams were scored based on their planning and team work.
