The inspiration for this week's @puzzleoftheweek came from the brilliant @nrichmaths game 'American Billions'. @alisonkiddle and Charlie made a great video about it for @mathsweekldn. Divisibility tests, strategic thinking and creativity all in one.

Blame my friend Paula for how ridiculous this puzzle sounds. I wrote the problem and then promised her she could choose any theme she wanted...

It was a pleasure to deliver a remote talk to 400 students from @KocSchool in Turkey today. We discussed creativity in maths and creating your own questions. Hopefully I'll be able to use some of their students' questions for @puzzleoftheweek next year!

I made these diagrams manually for a puzzle I wrote recently. Can anyone recommend some software for drawing solids that would do this quickly? Is @geogebra my best bet?

Happy pi-day everyone! As beautiful as pi may be I deliberately never use it in https://t.co/SYCjKA6kCr puzzles to limit required curriculum knowledge. There's still some interesting geometry in this week's puzzle though...

There's over 120 free puzzles in the Puzzle Library. I've spent a lot of time over the past 6 years writing detailed solutions with extensions and further reading. It's a great problem solving resource for teachers or anyone who likes solving puzzles.

If you like this you'll love our "padlock puzzles" in our free, filterable Puzzle Library. They're puzzles 30, 84 and 167. Or just search for "padlock" in the puzzle name. https://t.co/hlswHcfegy

So I was playing tennis with four friends and had to sit out for a few games. Obviously I wrote a maths puzzle about it.

Many of you know I've run a free puzzle competition for schools for the last 6 years. I was late getting started this year, but https://t.co/SYCjKA6kCr is up and running again. It's been great writing puzzles again and seeing an enthusiastic response.

This diagram forms part of a puzzle I was writing today. On its own I think the image is dying for questions to be asked about it.

Hello Twitter, it's been 2 years. I've been hibernating, waiting for the world to become a little more accommodating for freelance maths educators. Speaking to @alisonkiddle, @FranMaths, @jamesgrime and @AJMagicMessage recently though, it seems to be getting better out there...

I really enjoyed writing this. Logic and number puzzles are my favourite. It's not simple though, can you solve it? All @puzzleoftheweek puzzles are completely free and if you register (for free) your school can compete against over 300 other schools around the world!
