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.
