Mathematics & Statistics
Document outlining 2024/2025 Mathematics plan.
Note that levels 4 and 5 are intended to be two year programmes.
Can you win a game before the other person realises they’ve lost? Can a perfectly reasonable argument lead to a completely ridiculous answer? And who decided infinity wasn’t big enough, so we needed different sizes of it?
Explore maths puzzles, logic problems, strange patterns, surprising results, and ideas that might make your brain itch. There are games to outsmart, codes to crack, and things that look impossible until someone shows you the trick. Sometimes the trick is maths. Sometimes someone’s just cheating.
Follow whatever catches your curiosity. You might get stuck into a stubborn puzzle, investigate a weird pattern, explore how a game works, or create a challenge for someone else. Working alone or teaming up are both options.
You don’t need to be the fastest at calculations or know a pile of formulas. Being curious, trying things, and asking "hang on, does that actually work?" will get you a long way.
Expect a few wrong turns, some satisfying discoveries, and the occasional urge to explain something to a person who didn’t ask.
