Don't miss #summersolvers Each day in August, at 10 am, we will post a problem from our archive that we think you might enjoy working on. The problems will cover everything from KS2 to KS5 maths. We hope you enjoy the #summersolvers

'Sticky Numbers' is today's @nrichmaths Summer Challenge for over 11s. Can they arrange the numbers 1-17 so adjacent pairs total a square number?nrich.maths.org/6571

Wednesday's @nrichmaths Summer Challenge for under 11s is 'Four Triangles' - an intriguing shape puzzle which can be explored using our onscreen interactivity or pencil and paper nrich.maths.org/141

Look out for #summesolvers Each day in August, at 10 am, we will post a problem from our archive that we think you might enjoy working on. The problems will cover everything from KS2 to KS5 maths. We hope you enjoy the #SummerSolvers

An old favourite - yr 8 loved constructing these tessellating hexagons today and lots of maths to discuss.

Do you remember how this recorded message ended… “At the third stroke…” And how old are you?

@suffolkmaths @PixiMaths Alphabooks have some good basic skills fill in the blanks book

Working backwards can reveal hidden connections between different areas of math, said Christian Elsholtz, a mathematician at Graz University of Technology in Austria. quantamagazine.org/why-mathematic…

And just like that we wave goodbye and good luck to another set of amazing @MATHS_WHS @GDST Mathematicians! Smash those exams #girlsinmaths #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits #mathscakes

Congratulations to our junior Wimbledon players who represented England Age Group Squads in 3 and 4 Nations Tournaments over the Easter weekend! A great first taste of international hockey this year and we look forward to following your progress in the summer months.

For more than 50 years, mathematicians have sought an “einstein”--a simple shape that can only tile the plane nonperiodically. Now a retired print technician has found one! My latest for @QuantaMagazine quantamagazine.org/hobbyist-finds…

John Venn died 4/4/1923. Venn diagrams popularised his name. Gonville and Caius 6th Wrangler,Fellow and FRS. Symbolic Logic (1881) reprint at #MALibrary. Creator of the huge historical biography Alumni Cantabrigienses. Skill as machine maker included a cricket bowling machine!
