If they did, I bet they actually wrote the answers on the answer paper, not the question paper like my DS.

He's supposed to be bright FFS.

It's for secondary. DS is in Y7, so it's the first year he's done it.

It was organised by UKMT;

"The UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) is a registered charity whose aim is 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. We were established in 1996 and last academic year over 600,000 pupils from 4000 schools took part in the three individual challenges, the UK's biggest national maths competitions. Each challenge leads into a follow-on Olympiad round and we run mentoring schemes and summer schools for high performing students as well as training the team of six to represent the UK in the International Mathematical Olympiad. We also run team maths competitions for two age ranges, publish books and organise enrichment seminars for teachers."

Obviously DS will not be going to the summer school.

What is the Junior Maths Challenge? Primary or Secondary School?

Apparently not.

I thought they could have transfered the answers for him, but he's bought home the question paper, without saying anything to the teacher.
