Conducting scientific research is an experience that is rarely accessible outside universities. During a new project in the 2014/15 school year, however, a group of researchers from the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases aims to give secondary school pupils (Y9 or Y10) the opportunity to work on a real scientific research project. The research team is now inviting applications from schools to participate as a research partner school in the project.
Staff from NRICH and the Cambridge Mathematics Education Project are working with the Faculty of Mathematics, Cambridge Admissions Office and Cambridge colleges to run the Cambridge STEP Easter School in April 2014.
The Cambridge Maths Circle runs free events providing enjoyable and stimulating hands-on mathematical activities for children and young people of all ages from 5 to 18. Cambridge Maths Circle events are led by volunteer staff and students from the University of Cambridge Faculty of Mathematics.
The Maths STEP Prep Summer School is a new initiative to help Year 12 (or equivalent) students from non-selective UK state-maintained schools and colleges who intend to apply to the University of Cambridge to study Maths. Run by the University of Cambridge Admissions Office in collaboration with NRICH, the Summer School will provide early preparation for and familiarisation with the Sixth Term Exam Paper in Mathematics (STEP).
Share in the festive spirit with our annual NRICH and Plus mathematical Advent calendars!
NRICH has published two online Advent calendars, one for primary students (ages 5 to 11) and one for secondary. This year the activities featured in the NRICH Primary Advent calendar are based on the theme Planet Earth, while the NRICH Secondary Advent Calendar presents a favourite video resource behind each door.
