The Maths Challenge Carousel
The Maths Challenge Carousel is the perfect Secondary School Maths Puzzle Day. It follows the nationwide success of The Challenge Carousel used by thousands of schools to facilitate their Team Building Days.
This Maths Challenge Day, consisting of 32 large puzzle challenges, is ideally setup in a hall, gym or sports hall. The activities, of varying difficulty, allow groups of students to investigate, question, reason and even make mistakes! All of these attributes being integral to the problem solving process.
This Secondary School Maths Puzzle Day starts with a brief introduction on how the carousel works. This introduces The Challenge Board which hosts the 32 activity boards detailing the activities. Groups will choose an activity and take the board to the specific activity location. Here the group will find all of the bespoke equipment they need to attempt the challenge. The board will tell them what the challenge is and how to score points. All answers can be recorded in the provided answer booklet. The group can then return to the Challenge Board, replace the activity board and repeat the process with another activity.
If you are running a full day session with the same group of students we will bring a collection of “All In” challenges that will take place at different points through the day. These are a great way to re-focus the groups after break and lunch times.
Group Size
The exciting and varied maths day can be run for large numbers of students as we have multiple setups of the 32 activities. For each visiting instructor the school can have up to approx 30 students taking part.
Sessions can be provided for two hours too full days. Because we charge by the number of instructors, rather than by head, there is no extra cost for changing the participating groups through the day.
Finale Finish
If you are looking at a full day activity we also offer two different finales to the day. This generally takes place for the last 60-90 mins of the day. Normally when we run the Maths Challenge Carousel for the day we run it as a competition, so all groups will have accumulated points during the session. These points can be used towards both of the finales that are on offer:
Finale 1: Groups race to be the first to complete our School Escape Room challenge. This entails firstly accessing our escape boxes and then working through the different challenges to find a key that allows access to a timer that needs to be stopped.
Finale 2: Groups need to design a vehicle that can be made from our giant construction kits that will fulfil certain criteria. They will need to do this on a strict budget and timescale.
Other Maths Workshops on offer for Secondary Schools are our Maths Problem Solving Days and Maths School Escape Rooms.
In addition to our Maths Workshops you may be looking for a Secondary School Team Building Day.
