Adding it all up! Junior Maths Challenge 2021
On Monday 26 April 2021, pupils in Years Seven and Eight had the opportunity to participate in the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. This event is a sixty-minute, multiple choice competition aimed at the top Mathematics students across the UK. Pupils are stretched to use their mathematical reasoning, precision, logic and fluency in using mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The competition this year was taken online, with the removal of the historical deduction of points for incorrect answers.
A Gold award will be given to the top 6-7% of the entrants, the Silver award for the top 13-14% of the entrants and the Bronze award will go to the top 21% of the entrants. Follow up rounds, Kangaroo and Olympiads are then offered to the pupils who achieve the very top scores.
We cannot wait to see what they all achieved!
