YEAR five and six students from six local primary schools competed in a team maths challenge at Chilton Trinity Technology College.
The 32 students split into teams of four, and spent the morning solving problems and cracking mathematical codes under the expert supervision of year ten students from Chilton Trinity.
There were three different sections to the competition, including a group round, a cross number and a relay race, when students raced against the clock to solve questions as quickly as possible in pairs.
The winning team, Callum, William, Henry and Edward, aka “confused.com” from Puriton Primary School, were crowned winners, and received prizes and certificates.
Event organiser and Chilton Trinity maths teacher, Zoë Cameron, said: “All the teams from participating primary schools worked well together and showed enthusiasm for using their mathematical skills.
“Their behaviour was excellent and there was a real buzz of excitement throughout the morning as they competed against one another.
“It was a real pleasure to work and learn with them.”
