If everyone has to keep two metres apart, how many people can you fit in a room? This is a series of five challenges, each involving a room more difficult than the one before. Although it is not obvious to begin with, pupils will need to use Pythagoras to check that their people are all at least two metres apart. Full solutions included.

A chance for pupils to learn what mathematicians really do: they pick a mathematician from the list and are then guided through a very simplified version of their work. The aim is that pupils learn about a mathematician but also do some real maths! The file Modern Mathematicians.pdf lists all the options, then there are 25 separate tasks to look at. Suggested answers also included.
