The Mathematics pathway

PrimaryJuniorIntermediateSenior
Ages 7–11 · Years 3–6

First steps in mathematical thinking

At Primary level the goal is to spark curiosity and build intuition. We introduce creative problem-solving through games, patterns and puzzles — preparing students for 11+ exams and their first competitions while keeping learning joyful.

What we cover

  • Number sense and arithmetic fluency
  • Patterns, sequences and early algebra
  • Combinatorics and counting
  • Spatial reasoning and basic geometry
  • Logical puzzles and proof by example

Competitions & exams we prepare for in United Kingdom

  • First Mathematics Challenge (UK)
  • Primary Mathematics Challenge — PMC (UK)

Topics we explore

AgesIt is convenient to solve these problems through an equation. The main thing to remember is that the age difference always remains the same.‍View on ProblemsSums and averagesView on ProblemsDivisibilityView on ProblemsOlympiad BIDMASView on ProblemsCombinatorics (Primary)What is combinatorics? Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics that deals with counting — not just by listing, but by using smart rules and patterns to calculate the number of ways something can happen. We’ll explore questions like: • How many different outcomes are possible when making choices? • What’s the difference between arrangements (where order matters) and selections (where it doesn’t)? • How can we use multiplication, permutations, and combinations to solve these problems?View on ProblemsCuttingsDivide grid shapes along the lines between cells into a given number of equal parts, or so that each part has exactly one marker.View on ProblemsFolded-corner perimeterSee why a right-angled notch at the corner of a rectangle does not change the perimeter: inner steps replace exactly what was removed from the top and right.View on ProblemsHow many shapes?Can you spot all the squares, rectangles, and triangles in these diagrams? These classic visual puzzles help develop spatial reasoning, geometry skills, and attention to detail. Perfect for primary students preparing for Maths Olympiads or challenges like the UKMT. Great for classroom warm-ups, enrichment activities, or home learning.View on ProblemsMatchstick EquationsMove one matchstick in a number equation to make it true, or to keep it true.View on ProblemsTower of HanoiA classic ring-moving puzzle where the move counts 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, ... reveal the beauty of recursion.View on Problems
