About UKMT

We coordinate national and international maths challenges for young people. Our Enrichment programme provides mentoring and an opportunity to be selected for UKMT Summer School.

Advice for parents

Most of our work is done in collaboration with schools. School mathematics teachers are best placed to understand the needs of the young people in their classes, and we want to do whatever we can to support them to nurture the next generation of mathematicians.

Impact

Each year, over 700,000 young people take part in UKMT maths challenges. We enrich thousands of students through our maths books, mentoring programmes and Summer School.

Team

We are a volunteer-led charity powered by 400 volunteers who manage the challenges and enrichment activities. We are governed by a Board of Trustees and a staff team.
