Extension

In the Autumn term of the lower 6th, all further maths students will take part in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge.

The UKMT senior challenge generally takes place in the first week of November each year. We suggest that if students want to do well then they should have some practice beforehand.

UKMT Senior Maths Challenge Past Papers

If students do well in this challenge then they qualify for either

i) Senior Kangaroo (score approx. 85+)

ii) British Maths Olympiad (score approx. 105+)

At the start of the January term (after the January exams) the lower 6th have covered enough content to be extended on their understanding of the curriculum. If you would like to get involved then the resources are below. This is aimed at the top 10% of each cohort.

In the following resources, I have compiled a range of problems from the OxMAT (the Oxford Maths entrance test) for you to complete each week. The answers will hopefully appear in video form at some point as well. Don't worry if you miss a week or don't start from the beginning, do the sheet for this week so that you can join in with the conversations in school about how to tackle these very challenging problems.

In the summer term we start working on some of the more "simple" STEP problems, not that STEP questions are similar in any way, but I have cherry picked some of the more basic ones.
