Edited by Andrew Jobbings.
This book includes all 500 problems from the twenty
Senior Mathematical Challenge papers set by the UKMT between 1997 and 2016.
The problems, which are not given as multiple-choice questions, have been grouped together in two ways: by difficulty; and by topic. The answer to every problem in the book is included. Also, nearly every problem has a remark of some sort. Each remark is not intended to be a ‘full written solution’, but sketches one method, providing a sequence of pointers so that, hopefully, the reader is then able to go on and solve the problem.
The
Challenges series is aimed at students at secondary school who are interested in tackling stimulating problems, such as those posed in the Mathematical Challenges administered by the UKMT and similar organisations.
From The Mathematical Gazette review of
Junior Problems by the same author, also in the
Challenges series:
'Organising the problems by topic will enable teachers to give clearer feedback regarding pupils weaknesses, and ordering the difficulty means instant differentiation of task. This collection is an absolute must [...] and it will certainly be changing the way I deliver Junior Maths Challenge material.'
