Welcome to the Math problems competition! The format of these on-going math problems classes will be to discuss as a club a challenge paper with a series of challenging questions designed to enhance logical reasoning and critical thinking skills. The questions will be multiple-choice style which promotes the love of problem-solving. The challenge builds upon mathematical knowledge developed through existing tuition and will encourage students to utilize their mathematical reasoning and fluency to solve unique and interesting questions. The problems promote critical thinking skills and will develop in students the ability to use their knowledge in unfamiliar ways in order to solve a unique problem. Most questions are appropriate to all pupils, while still remaining a challenge for more experienced pupils. This club is suitable for those students with a solid foundation in mathematics for Middle School years and below, and for those wishing to make friends through a shared passion for problem solving and puzzles!
