Throughout the week, schools, libraries, and community venues across the county will be alive with puzzles, games, shows and hands on activities designed to spark curiosity and show that maths is about much more than textbooks.

From cracking codes to exploring the maths of music, sport and nature, there will be something for everyone including children, teenagers, parents, and grandparents alike.

In Kildare, Puzzles in the Park at Monread Park, Naas will run throughout the week, offering families and visitors a chance to take part in fun, outdoor maths puzzles that bring problem-solving to life.

Eoin Gill, Co-ordinator of Maths Week Ireland, said: “Maths Week is about changing how people think and feel about maths. It is not just numbers on a page; it is about solving problems, spotting patterns, and discovering the ideas that shape our world.

“We have seen an incredible response over the past twenty years, and we are excited to see everyone in Kildare getting involved again this year.”
