Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub proud to support Maths Week England 2020!

Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub is proud to be supporting Maths Week England 2020, which takes place from Monday 9th November to Saturday 14th November.

Maths Week England aims to provide young people in England with a positive image of mathematics, and to contribute in a small way to changing the national attitude towards this vital and beautiful subject. It also aims to:

1. Raise the profile of mathematics throughout England

2. Change the conversation about maths in the population at large to be more positive

3. Allow children and adults from all social and economic backgrounds to access and enjoy interesting mathematical experiences

4. Support teachers to plan special low-cost high-impact maths activities at their own schools during Maths Week

5. Encourage Higher-Education centres to invite schoolchildren to visit for maths events, in order to raise aspirations and encourage higher take-up of the study of maths at A-level and university

6. Make maths accessible and enjoyable for people who thought it was an elitist subject for ‘clever’ people: to ‘love and enjoy’ is a worthy goal!

Be sure to follow our Twitter page, @YHMathsHub, where we will be celebrating Maths Week England starting next week (9th November) with lots of fun and engaging Maths Puzzles for everyone to get involved with!
