Maths Week Scotland is back for 2026. If you're wild about maths we've got a whole week of Daily Challenges to get your brain cells going.

Each morning from Monday 21st to Sunday 27th September, we'll add a new challenge which has been set by the Scottish Mathematical Council. We'll give you a hint of how to solve it. We'll publish the answers after 12:00 each day.

So join in, see if you can work out the answers and have fun doing it!
