Springfield pupils are participating in a national UKMT Maths Challenge again this year. Years 9, 10, and 11 completed the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge on 1st February 2018; Year 7 and 8 will be completing the Junior Challenge in April. The UKMT is a registered charity whose aim is to advance the education of young people in mathematics. THE UKMT organises national mathematics competitions and other mathematical enrichment activities for 11-18 year olds. They were established in 1996 and during the last academic year over 650,000 pupils from 4,500 schools have taken part in the three individual challenges, the UK’s biggest national maths competitions. Each challenge leads into a follow-on Olympiad round. UKMT also run mentoring schemes and summer schools for high performing students as well as training the team of six to represent the UK in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
