Puzzles & Problems

Tarquin's Puzzles & Problems collection offers a wealth of mathematical challenges, logic puzzles, and number investigations for learners of all ages. These resources are designed to develop mathematical reasoning, persistence, and creative thinking — the habits of mind that distinguish confident mathematicians. From accessible number puzzles suitable for upper primary pupils to demanding logic problems that will stretch the most able secondary students, there is something here for every level.

The collection is particularly valued by teachers running maths clubs, enrichment sessions, and competitions, as well as by parents looking for stimulating activities that go beyond routine practice. Many of the puzzles have been designed to be explored collaboratively, making them ideal for group work and mathematical discussion. All problems are carefully graded and come with guidance for teachers and facilitators.
