Maths Week 2025, October 11th - 19th.

Maths' Week is being celebrated all over Ireland this week, 11th-19th of October. You can get further information about events taking place online and in person on https://www.mathsweek.ie/2025/

As part of the school's Maths' Week celebrations, we will have a new maths challenge each day this week. 

Here's Monday Challenge:

Teddy is having a picnic and wants to invite some friends. He has 10 apples to share. He wants to make sure everyone gets at least 1 apple.

How many friends can Teddy invite? How many different ways can he share the apples?

Here's some things to think about:

  • Can Teddy keep some apples for himself?
  • What if each friend needs 2 apples
