I’m late posting it here (sorry) but I know I have already shared it with some people directly. The Calculated Colouring for 2018 is now here – maybe you could do it on Christmas morning? Same format as before – all questions should be suitable for current Year 12 students, some sample questions are below […]

Happy Christmas everyone!! I hope you have all had a fantastic day 😉 Inspired by James Tanton’s (@jamestanton) “Personal Polynomial” I have a small Christmas message encoded in the polynomial below: The file available here contains the definition of the polynomial which would certainly be helpful.

Get involved in the next discussion on the 11th January for the ATM special edition chat, details are here. John Mason – Another ATM Session – Here I wrote […]
