PMC Final Results 2006

February 2006 PMC Finals Results

Some pupils’ comments on this year’s PMC Finals

Made my brain ache	They ask really weird questions
Mostly logic and reasoning - my favourite maths!	You want to do well
I was proud to represent my school	Although it was hard it was still fun
I enjoyed doing the maths challenge	A great mind bender
Your brain gets a good workout!	The mathematical disease was cheesy!
It was hard but I stayed calm	Good fun - better than numeracy hour in class
It was hard but I like a good challenge	What's an ounce?
The problems even make our teachers think hard.

Some teachers’ comments

Great mix of problems	Excellent challenge
Tricky - kept the staff busy for hours after the test!	Loved the humour!
Thomas was thrilled to have reached the Finals	The level was spot on as always
I am thinking of using some of the problems at our next staff INSET on problem solving!	Another fantastic paper
Difficult - it caused debate and discussion in the staffroom.	A true test of mathematics
Pupils loved the idea of seeing 40 ears and 66 legs out of your window	Refreshingly different from school maths
Another cracking ingenious set test - many thanks	Animated conversation afterwards
Stimulating experience for our most able children	No member of staff could do Q25
I think the whole process is very rewarding for the children	Great fun - different to SATS stuff!
The challenge promotes a feeling of success for the more able.	I loved Q15

More than 1000 pupils were invited to take the Finals this year (pupils who scored 27 or more in the November 2005 PMC). The paper was a little more difficult this year - here is the mark distribution:

Mark		0–5	6–10	11–15	16–20	21–25	26–30
% of pupils		0.5	9.2	37.6	41.3	10.6	0.8

This year’s Finals challenge was more difficult than the February 2004 paper and the mark distribution reflects this. The PMC Problems Team will aim to set a Finals paper for 2006 which challenges the best young mathematicians in the country whilst allowing other Finalists to score a respectable mark!

Last year we awarded 198 medals. This year PMC medals have been sent to 340 award-winners:

	Gold		48 pupils scoring 22 - 30
	Silver		90 pupils scoring 20 - 21
	Bronze		202 pupils scoring 17 - 19

There are award winners from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. There are two from overseas!

Award winners for the PMC Finals February 2006.

Congratulations to all these pupils. They scored very high marks on a difficult challenge paper.
