Last Friday was the UKMT Maths Challenge for Years 8 and 9. There were four students in Team Myton: Becky Morris, Stephen Evans, Andrew Jakeman and Emma Jakeman. Here’s what they had to say about the event.

“We really enjoyed participating in the challenge, there were four rounds in which we competed and the level of challenge was really difficult, but doable so we really enjoyed it.

All the other schools were really friendly, and it was a generally great day. We all highly recommend doing this challenge if presented with the opportunity, and we are all really glad that we did it.

Here is a question for you to try in the style of our maths challenge:

What are the two solutions for x when y = 2?” (Equation here)
