What happens after a teacher has nominated my child?

Once your child has been nominated, you will receive an email from us asking for your child to sign up to a Quiz Webinar.

The Quiz Webinar will include a brief introduction to the MMT programme. Students will then complete a timed online quiz with a mixture of exciting and challenging questions! The quiz may touch on some familiar concepts and some more testing ones. We recommend having a pen and paper to hand.

Want a taster of the type of questions we explore on the Maths Masterclass Tutorials?

What happens after the Quiz Webinar?

All nominated students are guaranteed a place on one of two programmes – MMT (which is weekly for the full year) or the Maths Mastery Month (which will take place in Spring).  

The Maths Mastery Month is a set of webinars hosted by bestselling science author Simon Singh MBE and Countdown series winner Junaid Mubeen. Simon and Junaid will work through a series of interesting, challenging and entertaining maths problems, helping students to broaden their horizons and stretch their ambitions. The webinars will be highly interactive, with students able to answer questions via chat and polls.

Places on the MMT programme are limited and students will be offered places based on careful consideration of the information provided to us by both teachers and parents as well as the result of their quiz and their attempt at the teaser problem.
