The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust organises maths challenges which are designed to stimulate interest in the subject.

The papers contain 25 multiple choice questions and the most successful participants at each level are invited to enter follow-on rounds - Kangaroos (multiple choice questions) or Olympiads (requiring full written answers).

Aaron Malkin in Year 9 did especially well, achieving a gold certificate and making it through to the next round, Kangaroo. He is currently preparing for the paper with Mrs Stevenson.
