Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) was founded in 1996 to help with the education of children in mathematics within the UK. The Junior Mathematical Challenge (JMC) is an introductory challenge for pupils in Years 8 (aged 13) or below. This takes the form of twenty-five multiple choice questions to be sat in exam conditions, to be completed within one hour. The paper is divided into two sections. The first fifteen questions are designed to be easier, and a pupil will gain 5 marks for getting a question in this section correct. The last ten questions are more difficult, and are worth 6 marks, but a penalty of 1 or 2 points for a wrong answer tries to prevent pupils guessing. The top 40% of students get a certificate of varying levels (Gold, Silver or Bronze) based on their score. The highest scorers are also invited to take part in the Junior Mathematical Olympiad (JMO). This is also divided into two sections. Part A is composed of ten questions in which the candidate gives just the answer (not multiple choice), worth 10 marks (each question 1 mark).
