The Portal - Raising standards and making learning more engaging

Kick Start

Kick Start is a new daily maths challenge for Upper Key Stage 2 pupils.  The activities are based on a news item selected from CBBC news.  Answers each week will generate a clue to a location in the world, which can be submitted to the Black Country Challenge team.
