The UKMT math Challenges for the year 2007-2008
|
Updated
May 26, 2008 |
RIS High School Math Club has been organizing
and administrating several math competitions
this one, one of which is the UKMT.
The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust was founded
in 1996 as a registered charity to advance the
education of children and young people in mathematics.
The UKMT organises national mathematics competitions
and other mathematical enrichment activities
for 11-18 year old UK school pupils. These range
from popular "mass" Maths Challenges
to team competitions, forums for teachers and
the selection and training of the UK team for
the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
Through the Maths Challenges and team competitions
they aim to stimulate greater interest in mathematics
across the 11-18 age group, encouraging participation
and rewarding enthusiasm and achievement. Last
year over 600,000 pupils from 4,500 schools
took part in the three Challenges, the UK's
biggest national math competitions.
The top scoring 40% of the entrants receive
bronze, silver or gold certificates based on
their mark in the paper.
• The Gold award is achieved by the top 6% of
the entrants.
• The Silver award is achieved by 13% of the
entrants.
• The Bronze award is achieved by 21% of the
entrants.

Mathanun Suthiseranee.
The Intermediate Mathematical Challenge (IMC)
is a trickier level for those who have completed
the Junior Math Challenge.
Kangaroo Competition
The Kangaroo is a competition which follows
the same structure as the Australian Mathematic
Competition. There are twenty-five multiple
questions. This paper is taken throughout the
world by over 3 million pupils from more than
57 countries.
Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad
This is often abbreviated to the IMOK (Intermediate
Mathematical Olympiad and Kangaroo).
The IMOK consists of three papers, 'Cayley',
'Maclaurin' and 'Hamilton' named after famous
mathematicians. The paper the student will undertake
depends on the year group that student is in.
Each paper contains six questions. Each solution
is marked out of 10 on a 0+ and 10- scale; that
is to say, if an answer is judged incomplete
or unfinished, it is awarded a few marks for
progress and relevant observations, whereas
if it is presented as complete and correct,
marks are deducted for faults, poor reasoning,
or unproven assumptions. As a result, it is
quite uncommon for an answer to score a middling
mark (e.g. 4–6). This makes the maximum mark
out of 60. Students getting two questions fully
correct are considered "very good".
All people partaking in this challenge will
get a certificate; one of Participation, Merit
and Distinction. The mark boundaries for these
certificates change every year, but normally
around 30 marks will gain a Distinction. Those
scoring highly (the top 50) will gain a book
prize; again, these changes every year, with
44 marks required in the Maclaurin paper in
2007
