Liverpool Maths Challenge Success

Mathematical Education on Merseyside (MEM) has been running their “Challenge” take-home competition in February half term since the late 1970s. This competition attracts about 2,000 entries annually. Another competition, the Open Challenge for students aged 18 and under, is organised by the Liverpool Mathematical Society (LivMS) which also runs over half term.

The challenges this year were all about “flight” and students were asked to solve worded mathematics problems and write out neat solutions to these problems. Several of our students entered this year and we have three winners who travelled to Liverpool to collect their prizes last week. Hasana Garada in year 7 has won a Merit prize in the MEM Challenge. Simrik Bohara in year 12 has won a Highly Commended prize and Harshith Mavuri in year 12 has won Third prize in the Open Challenge.

Congratulations to these students on their success!
