Mathematical on-line Advent Calendars 2011


 

Just a brief post to bring these novel on-line advent calendars to your attention (Good for schools in the Advent run-up to Christmas):

Different kind of Advent Calendar
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.
