Shining Bright: Year 7 & 8 Excel in the UKMT Maths Challenge 2024!
Year 7 and 8 pupils shine in UK Junior Mathematic Trust Challenge 2024
We’re buzzing with excitement here in the Maths Department!
In April, 120 of our Year 7 and 8 students took part in the UKMT (United Kingdom Mathematics Trust) Junior Maths Challenge 2024. This awesome event lets our budding mathematicians show off their skills on a national stage. The UKMT Maths Challenge is a 60-minute, 25-question multiple-choice test designed to get students thinking deeply and creatively about maths. The questions are crafted to be fun and accessible for everyone, while still giving a good challenge to those with more experience.
Our students’ amazing achievements: 37 Bronze Awards: These students showed solid mathematical understanding and skills. Great job! 16 Silver Awards: These students impressed us with their problem-solving abilities. Fantastic work! 8 Gold Awards: These students really shone, ranking among the top in the competition. Truly exceptional! And the excitement doesn’t stop there—three of our Gold award winners are moving on to the next round! We wish them all the best as they continue to shine.
Participating in the UKMT Maths Challenge isn’t just about the awards; it’s about enjoying the journey of learning and tackling interesting problems. We’re super proud of all our participants for their hard work and enthusiasm.
