📐 It’s #MathsWeekEngland 2025!

The theme, “Connection or Coincidence?”, has us revisiting Prof Alain Goriely's mind-bending lecture “The Deceived Brain: Coding and Illusion.”

Can maths explain why our eyes trick us? 👀

How's my purple in parliament? 💜

As part of Maths Week England celebrations, I'm in parliament meeting many organisations that support careers in mathematical sciences.

PS of course I'll travel with my West Ham scarf ⚒️

MEI’s Big Earth Data Project is here for Maths Week England 2025!

Students can explore real satellite data, analyse environmental changes, and discover how
maths helps solve global challenges.

I'm making some progress with the #BeachSpectres project.

I've 3D printed a whole Spectre at the size I want for the final cutter, and this week for #MathsWeekEngland I'm going into three primary schools and asking kids to stamp out some tessellations 😬 […]

An interaction at yesterday's launch of #MathsWeekEngland at the new MathsWorld venue near London's Bankside.

Mum with child: "What do you call the type of maths that's here at MathsWorld?"

Me: "It's officially called 'fun and interesting' maths"

Mum: "Ooh, we love this sort of maths"

It’s nearly time for Maths Week England 2025!

A whole week (15–23 Nov) of FREE maths fun for everyone; puzzles, challenges, and live
events that show maths is for all, not just the ‘clever few’.

A pie charts of hair band colours, including pink, maroon, silver, fuchsia, yellow, orange, black, green, blue, and brown hair bands

A pie chart made out of a homemade tart with toppings (strawberries, banana, raspberries, and blackberries) depicting the different segments

A pie chart made from a pizza with different toppings (black olives, yellow sweetcorn, red pepper, purple onion, and green broccoli) showing class 6H's favourite colours

And yet some of my favourite entries from our #MathsWeekEngland chart competition (with @royalstatsoc.bsky.social YSS) were beautifully simple, home-made pie charts (sometimes tart charts, sometimes pizza charts)

Great to meet with @uniofbath.bsky.social Professor Chris Budd to mark #MathsWeekEngland.

We discussed how maths education is vital for the next generation to understand the rapidly-changing world of machine learning and AI, as well as for supporting cutting-edge discoveries🧑‍🏫

Lots of maths art around the school today celebrating #mathsweekengland. Fibonacci sequences and spirals, Mondriaan fractions and Kandinsky shapes to name a few. #mwe24 #edysky #eduskyprimary

This week is #MathsWeekEngland so I've been taking part in "Meet The Mathematicians" STEM outreach activity 🧠

Responding to questions from school kids about the use of maths in game development—something I wish I'd known about during my school years! 🤓

Today for #mathsweekengland, my brilliant colleagues have been using story books to find the maths in them. Even the most disengaged children were enthusiastically joining in. #edusky #mwe24 #ukmathschat #mathschatuk

Celebrating #mathsweekengland by making sundials. We looked up the latitude of the school and calculated the angles needed, then measured the angles and drew them onto a plate. Great fun. #mwe24 #edysky #eduskyprimary #mathschatuk

It’s #MathsWeekEngland !
To celebrate, I’m giving two free public lectures this week about the fascinating connections between mathematics and literature.

I launched #mathsweekengland with a whole school assembly where I showed the children different pairs of wellies and asked them to use their mathseyes to tell me what maths they could see. Lots of brilliant answers. #mwe24 #edusky #mathschatuk #eduskyprimary

It's #mathsweekengland this coming week. We'll be putting our matheyes on: reading maths story books, exploring Fibonacci sequences and creating ratio art, and making sundials measuring the angles with protectors. Lots of linking. What will you be doing? #ukmathschat #edusky #eduskyprimary

The results are in for #MathsWeekEngland Sparxmaths XP, 'Rangoli Designs', TT Rock Stars 'Battle of the Bands' competitions. Pupils challenged themselves to a daily puzzle, with our top puzzle masters shown below. Well done to everyone who took part! #Achievement #Enjoyment

Celebrating Diwali on day 2 of #MathsWeekEngland with some Rangoli designs. #Achievement #Community #Enjoyment

Pupils made a great start to #MathsWeekEngland yesterday with their 'Figure me out' activity. #Acheivement #Enjoyment
