Senior mathematics challenges (14 to 16 years)

These senior challenges from Mathematical Education on Merseyside were first produced as take home competitions aimed at students age between 14 and 16.

Each of these yearly challenges contains about eight questions covering a wide range of mathematical topics set within problem solving or puzzle activities. The final two resources in this collection are a compilation of challenges from 1983 to 2003 with the relevant answers.

Please note the solutions for the 2011 challenge are unavailable.
