19 Hidden Gems for Deep Maths Learning

Thursday 1st February 2018

This month’s puzzle comes from The Penguin Book of Puzzles, a collation of great puzzles from old, out of copyright books written by the prolific puzzle setters from way back.

"Divide 45 in four parts, so that the first part with two added, the second with two subtracted, the third divided by two, the fourth multiplied by two, shall be equal to each other."

That will give you something to think about. It is not a familiar puzzle format is it?
