What is the The Maths Project?
The Maths Project is an online platform where students access rich mathematical challenges to practise and improve mathematical thinking, talking, problem solving and explaining. Students are encouraged to explore different strategies, justify their thinking and communicate how they reached a solution. The platform gives teachers engaging, classroom-ready problems and tasks that help make student thinking visible and build confident, capable mathematical problem solvers.
