Girls Enjoy Maths

The GEM (Girls Enjoy Maths) Summer School is a dynamic three-day event taking place at Cambridge Maths School in July 2025. This program brings together 40 female Year 10 students to dive into the exciting world of mathematical sciences, fostering both resilience and self-assurance in their mathematical abilities.

Throughout the three days, participants will engage with captivating mathematical concepts, conduct hands-on experiments, visit the University of Cambridge, and hear from inspiring female speakers in the field. The activities will be designed to challenge and encourage teamwork, allowing you to collaborate with others, share ideas, and enhance your mathematical communication, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

You’ll also gain an understanding of how mathematics integrates with other STEM disciplines like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science, while exploring the wide range of mathematical applications in higher education and future careers.

Maths Circles  

Axiom Maths believe in the power of maths to transform lives and nations. Access to that power should not depend on a child’s background. Our mission is to help every child with the heart and head for maths realise the potential of their power. They support the programme and provide the funding and resources to make this a reality.  

We support you to nurture your pupils through weekly face-face maths circles. Our curriculum has been created to inspire and challenge young minds, with problems that excite them to the point that they lose themselves in the maths. The programme aims to help young people develop the mindset of high-level mathematicians, to have the ability to talk about maths like graduate mathematicians, to enjoy solving large complex problems and do this collaboratively. The whole programme has been put together by Axiom, a charity committed to developing young people as mathematicians. Axiom sees this as a way of providing a route to social mobility and leading young people to enjoyable and successful careers. They have developed excellent resources and support for mentors to ensure all students are challenged in a supportive and fun environment.   

If you are in another part of the country, we can help you to find one of our Maths Circles partners in your area and you can register on Axiom’s website  

Eureka Days

During the spring term, Cambridge Maths School runs the very popular Eureka Days each year. Bring your Year 9 or 10 students  for an inspirational day of Mathematics talks and activities. We are joined by NRICH and AMSP, who are leading some exciting activities, and some exciting guest speakers.

Feedback from previous Eureka Days:

“Excellent, interesting activities/talks.”

“Students engaged very well with all activities. They found the activities interesting and challenging.”

After, one student said she wanted to focus more on Maths and in Maths [lessons] and that she had come to the realisation that when she understood how to answer one question, it could lead to another answers. It was really great to see team work in the sessions.”

“Great induction to A-Level Maths in a university-style setting.”
