United Kingdom Mathematics Trust – Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2024

As we come to the half way point in the school year, it is once again time for our Year 9 and Year 10 students to participate in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2024.

This will be taking place on Wednesday 31st of January for students in sets 9H1 and 9H2 during their normal mathematics lesson during period 2 and for students in sets 10A and 10B during their usual mathematics lessons during period 4.

As ever, the department is looking forward to the considerable success usually achieved by PGHS students. Over 4000 schools regularly participate and the students will be competing against over 100,00 students from across the UK hoping to achieve the “Gold”, “Silver” and “Bronze” awards. Hopes are certainly high following on from the students result from last year.

I have attached an example question from a previous Intermediate Mathematical Challenge for anyone to try. There will be a small prize for the first person to come back to me with the correct solution.

Good luck to everyone who is participating.

Mr Cheal

Assistant Curriculum Leader for Mathematics
