We ran a Maths Challenge Day for Year 7s across Tameside in February 2015. It consisted of 5 sections all with a space theme
1) A task around loci and bearings
2) A space station code breaker
3) A murder mystery
4) Designing and flying paper aeroplanes
5) Building a 3D model of a space station using hexagons and pentagons
Schools sent two teams of four from their most able Year 7 students.
It was extremely successful and we had some great feedback from students and teachers alike.
I was responsible for creating the Code Breaker for the second section.
