Welcome to the very first edition of the challenge! We believe that numeracy isn’t just about solving equations in a textbook; it’s about sharpening your logic, spotting patterns in the world around you, and most importantly - having a bit of fun with a challenge.

Every week, we’ll share five puzzles designed to test your numeracy skills and logic. Whether you’re a Year 10 student or a parent who hasn't looked at a fraction in a decade, these are for you. Grab a cuppa, sit down with the family, and see who can claim the title of "Maths Whiz of the Week" in your household.
