This 'Maths and Sport' website was originally developed to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is part of the award-winning Millennium Mathematics Project at the University of Cambridge.
Our 'Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games' initiative was a partner project in the London 2012 Get Set+ education programme, and was awarded the London 2012 Inspire Mark.
We created free online mathematical resources exploring maths and science through sport, and particularly through the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Resources included activities designed to develop problem-solving and mathematical reasoning skills for students aged 5 to 18 (UK Key Stages 1 to 5) and articles aimed at older students and the interested general reader.
We also developed a small collection of activities on Maths and Football in collaboration with Arsenal in the Community.
You can find all our articles and activities, arranged by Key Stage, using the tabs at the top of the page, or view content by sport or topic.
