I got a taste for storytelling when I interned in Storyful many moons ago and since then have worked for places like WorldIrish (now Irish Central), Her.ie and Lonely Planet. I am constantly curious.

Christmas Present Ideas

It is often very difficult choosing Christmas presents for family and friends but so here are some seasonal, mathematics-related gifts chosen and recommended by Transum Mathematics.

How Not To Be Wrong

The maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Gödel's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.

What more could the inquisitive adult want for Christmas? This book makes a cosy, interesting read in front of the fire on those cold winter evenings. more...

Graphic Display Calculator

This handheld device and companion software are designed to generate opportunities for classroom exploration and to promote greater understanding of core concepts in the mathematics and science classroom. TI-Nspire technology has been developed through sound classroom research which shows that "linked multiple representation are crucial in development of conceptual understanding and it is feasible only through use of a technology such as TI-Nspire, which provides simultaneous, dynamically linked representations of graphs, equations, data, and verbal explanations, such that a change in one representation is immediately reflected in the others.

For the young people in your life it is a great investment. Bought as a Christmas present but useful for many years to come as the young person turns into an A-level candidate then works their way through university. more...

Apple iPad Pro

The analytics show that more and more people are accessing Transum Mathematics via an iPad as it is so portable and responsive. The iPad has so many other uses in addition to solving Transum's puzzles and challenges and it would make an excellent gift for anyone.

Questions for discussion:
I like to imagine that it is a really small dragon which you can keep in your pocket but when you need to it can grow huge so that you can ride it.

I came across these amazing images in a Sunday supplement. I followed them up and got permission to use them here and in schools. They are by a Parisien artist called Laurent Chehere. I would link them to 'Pixar's Up'
Children could describe them in 1st person imagining they are looking up at them. They could discuss where they are landing, how they are flying etc.

I think this image is great for writing a flashback. The story could begin with this image, then the children could flash back to describe how she ended up in there.

I saw these two images on a Trafford Centre Advert. They could spark a discussion about healthy lifestyles.

All statues have a back story, the children can write that. Who is it? What is? Where is it? Does it come alive? What happens? Is it watching us? What is it thinking?

With thanks to Jane Hewitt

Imagine you discover this 'shed' at the bottom of your garden, What is inside? I can imagine it's magical inside, much bigger than it seems on the outside. Perhaps lit by candles, strange instruments on the tables, cobwebbed and dusty.
Behind you the door closes gently and you espy this man sat in emerald green robes, peering at you over his glasses, the candles flicker and die out. It's pitch black and he whispers....

Allow the children 10 words only. No more and no less. What does the Wizard say to them? Make it mysterious. This is the opening scene to a story. Perhaps something like "Come, follow me.. Don't make a sound, she is upstairs!"

What has happened? How did it happen? Who did it? Why did they do it? What will happen next?

A Strategy Game for two players

Player 1

Player 2

The Transum game of Prime Pips in Pots is based on the traditional game of Wari, a popular board game played in ancient times in Africa and Asia. It is also known as Mancala and Kalaha.

Two players take it in turns to take all of the counters (seeds or pips) from a cell (pit or pot) and sow them one by one in a clockwise direction into the next cells. If the final counter brings the total number of counters in a cell to a prime number, those counters are won by the player. The game finishes when one player has scored 25 or more counters.

Kalaha

The photograph below shows the game of Kalaha as found in Thailand.

Here are the rules of the game exactly as printed on the packaging:

"A game for two people KALAHA lias simple rules, but many tactical possibilities. In each of the round pits are put six balls. Each of the two players has his 6 pits in front of hint and his KALAHA and the larger bin to each player's right. The first move is determined by the lot. The player who begins with be first move picks up all the ball In anyone of bis own six pits and sows the 6 ball only to the right, one in the following pits and In his KALAIA, No ball is put In the opponent's KALAHA. If the player's last ball lands in his own KALAHA, he gets another turn, also several times sussivcly, In the case of repeating. It's now the other player's turn. During the game the pits are emptied on both sides. Always, when the last own ball is landing as the last bail in an own empty pit the player can capture his own ball and all balls in the opposite pit of the opponent and put them in his own KALAHA. The game is over when one of the both sides - 6 pits is empty and accordingly a player can not move anymore. The remaining possible balls are put In the KALAHA of the concerned player. Winner of the game is the player who has the most balls In his KALAHA."

Mancala

The wooden playing board from 1977 is from the Philippines. It is used to play games collectively known as Mancala.

Transformation Tetris

Develop your skills translating and rotating shapes in this fast paced classic game.

Tetris is a classic tile-matching game created by a Russian software engineer in 1984.

It has been reported that moderate play of Tetris boosts general cognitive functions such as 'critical thinking, reasoning, language and processing' and increases cerebral cortex thickness.

Rotations and translations are just two of the types of transformations you will learn about on the Maths GCSE course. You can learn more about this topic by doing the online exercise called Transformations.

In addition you will find links to Lesson Starters, curriculum statements, activities, investigations and videos on the main Transformations Topic Page.

The code for Tetris was made available by aerolab, based on code by Peter Coles.

If you haven't already seen Remainders, it would be worth trying that task before playing this game.

The computer will think of a number between 1 and 100. Can you work out what it is?

Choose a divisor and the computer will give you some information about the number.
The fewer divisions you require, the more points you get.

If you identify the number correctly after

1 or 2 divisions - you gain 12 points
3 divisions - you gain 11 points

4 divisions - you gain 9 points

5 divisions - you gain 6 points

6 divisions - you gain 3 points

7 or more divisions - you gain 1 point

If you guess wrongly you lose 15 points, even if your guess satisfies all the criteria.

How soon can you reach 100 points?
Challenge your friends to do better.

The modulator will help you play the game, but eventually, try to play the game without it.

Click on the purple cog to open the settings menu and change the level of the game:

In Level 1 the chosen number will be from 1 to 60 inclusive and you can divide by each of the numbers from 1 to 10.
In Level 2 (the default setting), the chosen number will be from 1 to 100 inclusive and you can divide by each of the numbers from 2 to 10.

The aim of this game is to match pairs of cards.

Click on a card in the interactivity below to turn it over. Then click on another one. If the two cards match, they will stay face-up. If the two cards do not match, they will return to being face-down.

The game ends when all the cards have been matched in pairs.

How do you know when a card matches another card?
Can you remember where particular cards are to help you match the pairs?

We would love to hear about the strategies you use as you play the game.

You may like to explore these alternative versions of the interactivity:

Play with a scoring system - you start with 100 points, lose 10 points whenever you turn over cards that don't match, and add 50 points whenever they do match.

Play against the clock - can you beat your personal best?

Play with face-up cards - the cards are all face-up at the start so you can focus on the maths rather than the memory aspect of the game.

To download printable versions of this game (to play away from the computer) use the links to the PDFs below. If you print double-sided, the cards will each have an NRICH logo on the back. If you would prefer them to be blank on the back, please just print the first page.

Here is a chance to play a version of the classic Countdown Game.

The challenge is to use the numbers available and the four standard operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to hit the target.

Start by choosing any six cards. The top row always contains the numbers 25, 50, 75 and 100, and the bottom row contains the numbers 1 to 10. Alternatively you could click on "Quickstart". Then click on "Generate new target" and the computer will choose a target.

You can only use each card once in your solution, and it is always possible to find a solution.

You may like to explore different levels of the game using the Settings menu (the purple cog).

Once you've had a go, click on "Show solutions" to show some possible ways in which the target can be reached.
