Celebrate maths and bring children together with a fun online maths contest from the founders of Maths Week London.

The contest is a fantastic way to motivate children and encourage teamwork as they battle it out against schools across the capital to become London champions.

Help develop children’s number fluency as they answer quick-fire questions in game format. Personalised questions also help to build pupil confidence as they answer questions tailored to their individual level.

From Monday 26th June to Wednesday 28th June, Times Tables Rock Stars will be running London Rocks– an online times table competition for schools across Greater London. They are looking for the most dedicated schools, classes and pupils to award with prizes and certificates for their hard work and dedication.

Learn more about the London Rocks contest here.

A free online panel (taking place via Zoom) where secondary students (Years 7-11) can learn about how maths is used in different careers and the importance of continuing to study maths after GCSE.

Join Maths on Toast and practise your times tables and number bonds as you create a beautiful array of maths flowers.

The sessions usually last no longer than 45mins and you will be provided with any video links or resources you need to print in advance. We will start with an introduction and instructions for the activity and then give you time to work on the activity.

Join Maths Explorers for an online maths enrichment session exploring Polyominoes.

Polyominoes are a family of shapes that have been popularised in many board & digital games over the years, one of the most famous ones being ‘Tetris’. A polyomino is a plane geometric figure formed by joining one or more equal squares edge to edge, they are kind of everywhere once we know how to spot them!

Come join Maths Explorers for an introduction to this fun shape and an investigation you can get stuck into!

This will be a facilitator led, live session! Your cameras can be on or off as per your child’s wishes, but there will be no audio chat. Young people can interact with the challenges on the whiteboard we send them and they can send their questions and observations in writing through the Zoom chat box.
