THE THEME FOR 2024: PLAYING WITH MATH

Every year we announce a theme to start the celebration, spark creativity and bring light to connections between mathematics and all sorts of fields, concepts and ideas. In 2024 we want to celebrate mathematical games, puzzles and other entertaining activities, but also "playing" with mathematics itself, exploring, experimenting, and discovering.

Board Games: Numbers, problem solving, money, co-ordinates, tactical thinking, scoring

Bingo: Math sum linked to each number that comes out of the bingo machine.
