Yes that’s right – a new competition! The Maths Society is proud to announce that this November we will host a Team Maths Shootout!
This competition has finished. See the results on the story here.
As the poster suggests, we will hold our first event, where six person teams battle it out, tackling conundrums, dingbats and challenging maths problems as fast as they can. The speed and accuracy of the teams with be key, as they sprint over these fun hurdles.
Participation will be local, and you will have received follow-up communication if you are eligible, but we will publish our Heats and Finals papers and solutions, so that everyone can get a chance to solve these interesting puzzles, for the first time written by our community.
We will offer further updates about prizes, precise timings, et cetera as this exciting event draws nearer!
“I am very excited for this competition, and I look forward to seeing the teams push the boundaries!”
— A Gupta, Competitions Secretary
“This is another brilliant step forward for the Maths Society. I am incredibly impressed by our community’s growth, to the point where they are able to write their own questions for a competition like this! Especially since there has been quite a hiatus since the last UKMT Team Maths Challenges due to COVID, so I look forward to seeing the excitement of the teams during this competition.”
