Maths Week England aims to provide young people in England with a positive image of mathematics, and to contribute in a small way to improving the national attitude towards this vital subject.
To celebrate Maths Week England, from the 13$^{th}$ to the 17$^{th}$ November 2023, we have created three videos which introduce NRICH tasks, a different task for each age group.
We will give everyone a chance to send in solutions by the evening of Wednesday 15$^{th}$ November, to give us time to publish them by the end of the week, on the morning of Friday 17$^{th}$ November.
