Our NRICH website has just launched a new collection of free online resources to help potential university applicants prepare for sitting STEP Mathematics examinations.
STEP Mathematics is an additional examination, taken at the end of Y13, which forms part of conditional offers to mathematics applicants by Cambridge and some other universities.
Are there parallel universes? The idea that there might be many worlds and parallel universes - universes in which, rather than reading this, you are still asleep; in which you are happier, unhappier, richer, poorer, or perhaps even dead - is one which has crossed over from academic physics debate into a staple of science fiction. But what is the basis for the suggestion? Plus, our free online mathematics magazine, investigates the physics behind the controversial concept.
A new section of Early Years resources, supporting children's mathematical development, has been added to our NRICH website. The free resources are designed to support adults in developing the initial building blocks for mathematical thinking, reasoning and problem solving with young children.
The Millennium Mathematics Project is delighted to be hosting the UK premiere of acclaimed indie film Travelling Salesman, an intellectual thriller imagining the consequences of solving the P vs NP problem.
Our hugely popular NRICH website has a new look.
NRICH publishes rich mathematical activities designed for all ages from Early Years (age 5 and below) right through to the transition to university. NRICH resources encourage creative and confident approaches to maths and are designed to develop mathematical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills. The site is used by teachers and students all over the world, and attracted more than 3.6 million visits and around 20 million page views last year.
The STIMULUS programme, which places hundreds of Cambridge students as volunteer helpers in local schools, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
STIMULUS is a community service programme which creates placements for Cambridge University student volunteers in local primary and secondary schools and sixth form colleges, helping with Maths, Science, ICT or Technology lessons. STIMULUS students work as volunteer teaching assistants in the classroom, alongside the class teacher.
