Mathematical Education on Merseyside (MEM) is an organisation which brings together staff from the three universities in Liverpool and local school teachers, to devise, enable and promote mathematical activities throughout the region. MEM is a registered charity (no. 517028).

Some of these activities are organised and supported by Liverpool Mathematical Society (LivMS).

MEM ORBITER CHALLENGE COMPETITIONS (both MEM and LivMS)
This is our newsletter and is circulated three times a year at the start of each school term, informing schools and other interested parties about local mathematical events and talks. Current and back issues are available. These free take-home competitions are held over February half term, and are open to all Y7/8 and Y9/10 pupils respectively.  Current and back issues (and solutions) are available.
MEM MASTERCLASSES
These are for able and enthusiastic Y8/9 pupils and are normally held in the autumn term.  COVID-19 caused the cancellation of the Saturday classes in 2020 but a series of four Saturday classes did take place in 2022. Details can be seen here: MEM Masterclasses
