Junior Maths Challenge-Style Geometry Drill: Angle Chasing, Polygons and Area

20 original Junior Maths Challenge-style multiple-choice geometry questions, every one written fresh in the style, format and difficulty of the UKMT Junior Mathematical Challenge (Year 8 and below), with full worked solutions and a clear diagram on every question that needs one. Geometry is where strong JMC candidates bank marks fastest, and this drill trains exactly the moves that unlock it: angle chasing in triangles and across parallel lines (including the bent-line trick), isosceles chains, regular polygon interior and exterior angles, arrowhead angles, shaded areas left exact in terms of pi, overlapping quarter circles, a square trapped between two circles, triangles on a grid, a hexagon halved by its alternate corners, a five-square rectangle puzzle, staircase perimeters and cube nets. What’s inside: 7 Easy, 9 Standard and 4 Challenging questions, each with five options A to E and exactly one correct answer, distractors built from the slips students actually make, real JMC-style scoring (5 marks for Q1-15, 6 marks for Q16-20, 105 in total) and an answer grid. Every worked solution breaks the method into short, annotated steps, names the key insight, flags the common trap, and shows a faster route where one exists, so students learn competition reasoning rather than just the answer. Ideal for able Year 7 and Year 8 students preparing for the Junior Maths Challenge, Junior Kangaroo and Junior Olympiad, for maths clubs and enrichment sessions, and for tutors stretching strong KS3 students. No calculator needed. Original UKMT-style practice material written by Locus Tutors; not produced by, affiliated with or endorsed by the UK Mathematics Trust.
