Maths Challenges and Olympiads Explained
In this free information session, Kevin will tell you everything you need to know about Maths Challenges and Olympiads, from the First and Primary Challenges to the Junior, Intermediate and Senior competitions and the follow-on Kangaroo and Olympiad rounds.
You’ll learn what they are and why they are such a powerful tool to help students improve at maths and problem-solving. We’ll talk about the ways they are different from the usual sort of maths students cover at school, and how you can best help your children prepare to achieve Gold certificates and medals.
