This is a UK-based challenge that is also open to students around the world, which gives pupils aged 9 to 11 the chance to take part in a fun mathematical challenge.
A Hint First, Then the Full Solution
Every question in this course has two videos. You can have a go at the question yourself first, then watch the short hint video. Then go back to the question and try again and once you think you have the answer or are genuinely stuck you can move on to the full solution video.
Using hints in this way is a great way to prepare as it gives you the best chance to work out the answers for yourself. Spending time getting stuck and thinking hard is the best way to get better at maths and problem-solving so it’s much better to have a nudge in the right direction than just seeing a complete solution.
Maths, problem-solving and reasoning skills for ages 9-11
The Primary Maths Challenge is a fun and exciting competition for students aged 9-11.
The problems are very different to ordinary school maths and encourage enthusiasm for the subject and boost students' confidence in and enjoyment of the subject.
For many, this will be the start of an exciting journey towards the UKMT maths challenges and other competitions around the world.
But the problems are also just really fun and accessible. So all students can enjoy the problems and learn some maths along the way.
In fact, many parents will enjoy having a go at these with their children too.
In this totally free course you can try real past paper questions with video hints and solutions for every question.
It's a great way to prepare for the challenge or just to do some fun challenges and to get better at maths and problem-solving.
