This book contains almost 600 unusual and challenging multiple-choice problems designed for the top 35% of pupils aged 11-15. The first part consists of past papers (1988-93) for the annual UK Schools Mathematical Challenge - a one hour, 25 question national event.The second part contains forty-two short papers (10 questions each) in the same style. Each short paper is designed to fill a 30 minute class or homework slot. The problems have a dual goal. They make pupils think and handle information in a genuinely mathematical way, but they are also meant to be fun. This collection of unusual, high quality problems will provide an invaluable resource for all mathematics teachers.

This book contains over 100 challenging problems for pupils aged 11-15, taken from the hugely popular UK Junior Mathematical Olympiad. There are also 60 additional problems in a similar style. The second section of the book consists of detailed comments and hints, whilst the third section gives outline solutions. These high quality, more challenging problems will provide an excellent and invaluable resource for all mathematics teachers.

The latest addition to this popular series contains the National Mathematics Contest papers from 1988 to 1996, together with comments, hints and full solutions. Additional problems of a similar nature are included in the form of short multiple choice tests. Ideal for students aged 15-18, in class or for homework, and for students, teachers and parents either as practice material for the competition or a source of thought-provoking problems.
