To help you celebrate the countdown to Christmas, the University of
Cambridge's Millennium Mathematics Project has created three online
Advent calendars each hiding a marvellous array of mathematical goodies
behind their doors!
The Plus Advent calendar
(http://plus.maths.org/content/2011-plus-advent-calendar) presents an
assortment of intriguing articles, podcasts and interviews from the
archives of Plus, our online popular mathematics magazine. This is aimed
at a general audience with an interest in maths.
Our NRICH website publishes rich mathematical tasks, investigations and
games for all ages from Early Years right through to KS5 and university
transition, with the emphasis on developing problem-solving skills. The
NRICH online Advent calendars present a selection of favourite problems
and games, and this year we have two versions - one Advent calendar for
primary students (http://nrich.maths.org/7778) and one for secondary
students (http://nrich.maths.org/7792) too.
