Welcome to the home of the LASCO Inter-schools Maths Challenge, now open to all Primary and Post Primary schools and colleges in NI, ROI, UK and abroad.

This annual Challenge event is designed to bring schools together, using the domain of mathematics, to provide a platform for pupils to both collaborate and compete, giving them a highly enjoyable experience that is both academically and pastorally rewarding.

• Participate in a highly inclusive, stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable maths challenge
• Express their mathematical ability and develop their communication and problem solving skills
• Work in groups to attempt questions that provoke discussion and debate
• Compete as a class team against pupils of similar abilities in other schools
