Maths GCSE
Many of the girls in Strathearn School take part in UKMT Maths Challenges. These competitions are run by the School of Mathematics in the University of Leeds.
The Mathematics department in Strathearn provide all the 4th and 5th years pupils with the opportunity to take part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge and those girls who go on to take A Level Maths may choose to sit the Senior Maths Challenge.
The competitions themselves require the entrants to think about Mathematics and their approach to problem solving in a fun and fresh way. The questions are multiple choice which often only adds to the confusion. The final questions on the papers are worth more marks as they are more difficult but guessing is discouraged as wrong answers are penalised.
This year the Senior Maths Challenge took place on Thursday 8TH November.
The Intermediate Challenge will take place on Thursday 3rd February.
