UKMT Maths Challenges

For over 20 years the UKMT, based at Leeds University have been inspiring a love of problem solving in children through their competitions and enrichment activities. Preparation and entering these competitions encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. Particular congratulations go to Amy Price, Serena Andani and Saachi Singh who were the best in the school in their category.
