Once children complete their centurion level, they can record the time taken on the stopwatch. With this you can create a Centurion Champion Leaderboard!

Impact

The Centurion Challenge has proven to be an engaging and effective method at improving children’s timetable, multiplication and division knowledge, whilst also improving calculation speeds (an important factor for EoKS Assessment!)

Differentiation

Also included in this document, is Target 50, Target 75 and Target 100. Which are similar activities to Centurion, but these only include Addition and Subtraction questions (missing number sentences too). Therefore, children who can not access Level 1 of Centurion just yet have an activity which can support them in reaching the Centurion Challenge.
