Students score highly in UK Maths Challenge

​The Intermediate Maths challenge is run by the UK Mathematics Trust and is aimed at those students in years 9, 10 and 11.  It is a one hour multiple choice paper that tests students’ ability to solve mathematical problems and challenges. Marks are awarded for correct answers but are deducted for wrong answers so it does encourage students to think rather than to guess.
 
Students at King Edward VI High School achieved  9 silvers and 7 bronzes in this year’s UKMT Intermediate  Maths Challenge. Over 250,000 students from across the UK sat the Challenge with roughly the top 6% receiving a gold certificate, the next 13% silver and then next 21% bronze.
