We are very proud of all the pupils who took part in this competition, it was great to see so many pupils trying their best and working on some super tricky problems! We can't wait to see them apply these skills to their future maths studies as well.

If you would like to take on a mathematical puzzle yourself why not visit their X page and attempt one of UKMT's Problem Of The Week challenges?
