Nrich
Nrich publish new problems every month. Why not try and get a solution published on their website?
There is a menu specifically for students.
You can sign up for an Nrich student newsletter if you want to be notified of new developments on the site.
If you have not tried Nrich problems before you may find their recommended starter problems good to try.
You can search for problems by topic if you wish.
For a problem to exercise your mind every day try the Mathematical Association of America’s Minute Math. Click on ‘Interactive version of the problem and solution’ to get a hint, you can also see a solution.
For weekly problems try the challenges from the University of Mississippi.
Four problems are set every week.
