Students in the GCSE Maths enrichment elective will enjoy problem solving with questions from nRich, and the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge. You will have the chance to work independently and collaboratively to put your mind to the test with a wide range of mathematical challenges. These questions will support and your development of numerical problem solving skills. The UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge takes place at the end of January, and is open to students in both year 10 and year 11. Students that do particularly well in the Intermediate Maths Challenge are invited to sit the Kangaroo competition or the Olympiad, and all students on this course will have a taste of what type of questions come up in those competitions, and enhance their problem-solving ability. As we finish the academic year, you will have the chance to dip into some A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics material and tackle some intriguing and challenging problems which will help solidify a sense of wonder for mathematics and its applications to problem solving.
