Monster Primes for Home School Times

Prime numbers are incredibly interesting. Many mathematicians have been fascinated, perplexed, and devoted to them, and this masterclass can give you a brief insight into their work…

This resource about primes was originally created for a Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclass to be held in March 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this was unfortunately cancelled.

We at Monster Primes would love for what we made to reach students throughout the country, and think this could be a fun exercise for them to complete over the next couple of months while working from home environments.

With help from parents/carers, peers or older siblings, we believe elements of our presentation and worksheet are accessible materials for any secondary school students.

Students much older than KS3 will also enjoy this, as it was not intended to be a standard class lesson, but instead as an engaging extracurricular activity to promote further investigation into the wide world of Mathematics.

Hopefully, the resources available should be interesting and a little challenging!
