The Mathematical time trial<\/strong> returns this October 2026 with four new online challenges aimed at students of different educational levels. A proposal to test ingenuity, reasoning and the ability to solve mathematical problems against the clock.<\/p>\n

The first challenge will take place on Sunday 4 October<\/strong> and will kick off four consecutive Sundays of mathematical challenges.<\/p>\n

What is the Mathematical Time Trial?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mathematical Time Trial is an individual online problem-solving competition<\/strong> that offers challenges adapted to different educational levels.<\/p>\n

The aim is to offer young people a different way to enjoy mathematics, putting into practice reasoning, strategy and the ability to find solutions within a set time.<\/p>\n

The challenges can be followed online, which allows participation from anywhere.<\/p>\n

Mathematical Time Trial 2026 schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the month of October, four challenges will be held, each aimed at a different educational level:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 October \u00b7 6th year of Primary.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 11 October \u00b7 2nd year of ESO.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 18 October \u00b7 4th year of ESO.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 25 October \u00b7 2nd year of Batxillerat.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All challenges will start at 4 pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In this way, each Sunday in October will be the turn of a different group of participants.<\/p>\n

    Eight challenges during the 2026-27 academic year<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The competition does not end in October. The Mathematical Time Trial will feature eight challenges throughout the 2026-27 academic year<\/strong>: four during the month of October and four more in February.<\/p>\n

    This allows students of different ages and levels to find their own challenge and take part in an activity designed to stimulate talent and interest in mathematics.<\/p>\n

    In-person final in Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The Time Trial also offers the opportunity to take the challenge beyond the online tests.<\/p>\n

    The The top 20 finishers of each challenge<\/strong> will be invited to take part in an in-person final in Barcelona in June 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It will be an opportunity to meet other young people passionate about mathematics, face new challenges and share the experience beyond the screen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
