The Maths Challenge 2026 is now open.
Who is this for?
The Junior and Senior Challenges consist of a selection of interesting mathematical questions for pupils to attempt at home. The Junior Challenge is aimed at students up to Year 8 and the Senior Challenge is aimed at students up to Year 10. In previous years we have even had some entries from year 5 and 6 pupils - very impressive!
ÌýBenefits of joining
- Opportunity for students to think outside the box and explore mathematics beyond the constraints of the standard curriculum.
- Opportunity for teachers to stimulate discussions in class and outside of classes about mathematics.
- Opportunity for schools and teachers to connect with the School of Mathematical Sciences and our range of outreach programmes.
- The most successful students will be recognised and invited to an award ceremony at the end of the year.
How do I join?
It is completely free to join. We accept entries from schools anywhere in the UK and from British Schools Overseas. We encourage teachers to organize their students’ entries. Download the materials for your appropriate year groups and distribute them to your students. For submission, follow these instructions:
