The Mathematics Masterclass is designed to cater to the most able Year 5 mathematicians who have a real interest in the subject. The sessions are problem-solving orientated, engaging pupils in tasks such as code breaking, shape transformation and numerical puzzles. By using a mixture of discovery learning and ICT we aim to stretch the pupils mathematical thinking rather than teach them new material. Children will require no prior knowledge beyond the National Curriculum. The free Masterclasses will run on the following Saturdays and children must be available to attend all 6 sessions within their chosen programme: Week 1 Saturday 26 April Introductory briefing for parents/guardians and children (15mins) Class: Coding Week 2 Saturday 3 May Class: Probability Week 3 Saturday 10 May Class: Binary number system Week 4 Saturday 17 May Class: Maths challenge Break for Kimbolton School half term.
