On Monday 7 March 2011, Cheltenham College Junior School will be hosting a DCBeagle Mathematics Challenge for around 80 year 6 pupils. Run by Mr Douglas Buchanan, formerly of Eagle House School in Berkshire, the Challenge will see over 20 prep and primary schools take part. Over 50 such Challenges have taken place all over South of England but this is the first time in Cheltenham.

For the Challenge, two young mathematicians from each school will be going head to head against their adversaries in a variety of mathematical puzzles. From Countdown to problem solving and mental arithmetic, the pupils will have to pit all their wits, knowledge and learning against each other to come out the winners!

We wish all participating pupils the best of luck!
