First Maths Challenge 2025
The First Maths Challenge will run from
16th – 27th June 2025.
Students usually take this paper in years 3 and 4 in England, P3 or P4 in Scotland or Years 4 and 5 in Northern Ireland, but the competition is open to entrants from younger year groups too. Many schools overseas also enter students of an equivalent age.
I’ve collected answers to all of the most common questions I’m asked by students, parents and teachers about the First Maths Challenge on the page here so take a look now and make sure you’re in the best position for the First Maths Challenge in 2025!
You can also take an online course to prepare at the Mathsaurus courses website. There’s a very significant FREE course and many students will also want to take a look at the Mathsaurus 11+ course.
