Wycombe Abbey are encouraging all school-aged children to get involved with maths problem-solving over the Christmas period.

The school has launched Conundrum – an online maths quiz aimed at children worldwide.

It has been developed by the school's maths department who have previously run monthly puzzle competitions for pupils which proved very popular.

To encourage more participants, a new website platform for the competitions has been built thanks to a donation from a former parent.

During the Christmas period, a new maths problem is being released every day between 1st December and Christmas Eve.

The competition is open to all school-age pupils who have until 6th January to solve the challenges.

Further details about the initiative can be found via the school's website: https://www.wycombeabbey.com/wycombe-abbey-christmas-conundrum/
