Welcome to Maths For Fun – where mathematical curiosity meets pure enjoyment for learners of all ages! Founded by a team of lifelong maths enthusiasts, we believe that numbers aren’t just for tests – they’re for exploration, discovery, and delight. Whether you’re eight or eighty, a beginner or a seasoned problem solver, you’ll find a growing collection of logic based games and puzzles that cover every corner of mathematics.
Running a Maths Event/Workshop
Maths doesn’t have to be something people only learn in the classroom – it can be shared, celebrated, and enjoyed together. With Maths For Fun books and resources, you can run your own events and workshops that bring people together through puzzles, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
Our puzzles are designed to be flexible, accessible, and easy to use in a wide range of settings.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to energise your lessons, a community organiser planning an activity day, or a family seeking a fun night in, our materials can help you create events that make maths engaging for everyone.
