Are you as smart as our sixth form Maths students?

Senior Maths Challenge results!

On October 1st, 31 of our A Level students took part in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge, a national competition. The students are only allowed a pencil and a blank piece of paper and have 90 minutes to complete as many questions as possible; taking into account that they will lose a mark for any incorrectly answered questions!

Can you work out the answer to this question from the challenge?

 

We were delighted to hear that we had some great successes in the challenge. As a school, we had 9 students achieving a bronze certificate, 4 achieving a silver certificate and four achieving a gold certificate: Ruby C (Y13), Amber S (Y13), Genna Y (Y12) and Jessica D (Y12). Congratulations to all of the students!

The students awarded the gold certificates qualified for the next round of the challenge, the Andrew Jobbings Senior Kangaroo. This was held on November 20th. The Senior Kangaroo was a 60 minute test and unlike the challenge was not multiple choice. All four of the students have received a Certificate for Participation and should be congratulated on getting through to this difficult mathematical test!

Can you work out the answer to this question from the Senior Kangaroo?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of our younger year groups will be entered into the UKMT Junior Mathematics Challenge and Intermediate Mathematics Challenge this academic year. We are hoping for similar success!
