The competition is for teams of four Year 5 pupils who take part in four collaborative rounds of maths questions which not only challenge their mathematical knowledge but also their powers of memory and estimation. There are eight heats to choose from and schools can enter up to 2 teams. Schools can book teams onto the challenge using this link.
