We are celebrating London 2012 with our 'Maths and Sport:
Countdown to the Games' project, developing free online
resources exploring maths through the Olympic and Paralympic
Games. 'Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games' has been
awarded the Inspire Mark, the badge of the London 2012 Inspire
Programme, and is a featured partner project in the Practical
Learning strand of Get Set +, the London 2012 education
programme. The free resources are created by our hugely
successful NRICH project and Plus online magazine, and have also
been published on a new dedicated Maths and Sport website.
Activities (for all Key Stages from 1 to 5) engage students with
maths in the context of sport and the Olympics. KS 1 and 2
activities help pupils explore and understand mathematical
concepts and processes. KS 3, 4 and 5 activities develop
problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking. Detailed
teachers’ notes give ideas on how to approach activities in the
classroom. Articles, aimed at older secondary students and
