  1. Ian Stewart’s (2005) book Game, Set and Math includes 12 puzzles linked to the 12 days of Christmas. A favourite is Five Gold Rings. The five gold rings are arranged to maximise the overlaps. At every overlap there is a diamond. You have diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... carats. Arrange the diamonds so the total number of carats on each ring is the same.

    Try starting small—just two rings, two overlaps and each ring has a total of three carats (1 + 2). Now three rings, there are six overlaps, arrange diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 carats so each ring has the same total.

  6. Seasonal Values
    Each of the symbols in the grid has a value. From the totals given for each row and each column can you work out what they are?

    The eight symbols have values 1 to 8 and each has the same value wherever it appears.

  21. FotoVorschlag Tradition / Brauchtum
    A Fröbel star made from 2 cm wide strips of red and white paper.

    These are not common in the UK but are a Christmas tradition in some parts of Europe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froebel_ In fact, some retailers sell pre-cut paper strips ready to fold. I cut 2 cm strips from A4 paper and each of the four long strips is made from two strips taped together (inside the first fold).

    I’ve failed to make these in the past because I could not understand the instructions 😅

    This is part of some seasonal mathematics for the next issue of Mathematics Teaching.
