United Kingdom Mathematics Trust

Who we are

UKMT is a charity that exists to advance the education of children and young people in mathematics. We do this by working with hundreds of volunteers across the UK to organise Competitions and Challenges promoting problem solving and teamwork and other mathematical enrichment activities. See ukmt.org.uk for more information.

Our culture and values

We believe:

• That all young people can benefit from the experience of mathematical problem solving and therefore wish to inspire a love of mathematical problem solving in the widest possible group of young people;
• That there should be no barriers to young people’s engagement in our activities and seek to widen participation and to increase inclusion and diversity;
• In the independence of our organisation and seek to uphold its reputation whilst raising its profile inside and outside the UK;
• In being a considerate employer, caring for and developing staff and volunteers.
