Junior Maths Challenge Results
The Junior Maths Challenge, organised by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT), is a prestigious international competition designed to inspire and challenge young mathematicians. Aimed at students in Years 7 and 8, the competition encourages problem-solving, logical reasoning, and a love of mathematics through a series of engaging and thought-provoking questions. Each year over 300,000 students across the world participate, with top performers earning Gold, Silver, and Bronze certificates in recognition of their achievements. The very highest scorers are invited to the next round: the Junior Olympiad.
This year, 38 talented students from Falkland Islands Community School in Years 7 and 8 took part in the challenge, showcasing their mathematical skills and determination. The competition tests participants on a wide range of topics, including number theory, geometry, algebra, and combinatorics, requiring both creativity and precision to solve the problems.
We are incredibly proud of all our participants for their hard work and enthusiasm. Special congratulations go to the following students who earned certificates:
