welcome to another edition of the Maths Week newsletter.<br>\nWe want to wish all our readers, teachers, parents and students alike a Happy New Year and wish you all the best for the year to

Schools are to remain closed and students across the island enter another period of remote learning. For us at Maths Week that means that we are redoubling our efforts to provide students and teachers with useful and practical resources designed to complement their schoolwork. As always, we welcome input and feedback from you to refine that offering - email suggestions to mathsweek@wit.ie or tweet @mathsweek.

The Government decision, taken on foot of public health advice to reduce mobility in the community, was to close schools for the vast majority of students for a period of three weeks. As of Monday 11 January students, including children with special needs, will resort to a programme of remote learning in line with the rest of the Government restrictions.<br>\n<br>\nSo, we find ourselves back with schools closures again. We all have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience but there is a lot more expected from us. Nevertheless, it is a gigantic task for educators, parents and pupils.\u00a0<br>\nThis situation should help wider society realise, that for all the failings of our system, the irreplaceable role of of the dedicated teacher present with pupils in the classroom.\n                        <\/td>\n                    <\/tr>\n                <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<!--[if

It is usually played by dealing four playing cards, but car license plates in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are ideal for it. The aim is to make 24 using the set of numbers to the right of the plate. You can use addition, subtraction, division and multiplication, but you must use all of the digits. We will be posting randomly generated\u00a0new plates each day so that you don\u2019t have to leave your home.\u00a0You\u2019ll be surprised how many of them can make up 24.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2020\/daily-24-puzzle\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #007C89;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color:#0000FF\">https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2020\/daily-24-puzzle\/<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n        <\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n        <td class=\"mcnImageCardTopImageContent\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;padding-right: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;padding-left: 0px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n        \n            \n\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/1e4c696c230483f91e7da02d5\/images\/0fc6fad8-2b7f-4b3b-b253-1e546112686a.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 658px;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;vertical-align: bottom;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n\n            \n        \n        <\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n            <\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;table-layout: fixed !important;\">\n    <tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n        <tr>\n            <td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\" style=\"min-width: 100%;padding: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                <table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-top: 2px solid #EAEAEA;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                    <tbody><tr>\n                        <td style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                            <span><\/span>\n                        <\/td>\n                    <\/tr>\n                <\/tbody><\/table>\n<!--            \n                <td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\" style=\"padding: 18px;\">\n                <hr class=\"mcnDividerContent\" style=\"border-bottom-color:none;

The announcement was made at the first ever virtual BTYSTE awards ceremony streamed live from the Mansion House. Gregory presented his project in the senior age group of the Technology category.<br>\n<br>\nChair of the Technology judging panel, Mr Leonard Hobbs from Trinity College Dublin, said that \u201cthe winner this year demonstrated an expertise in computer science which was well beyond his years. The level of coding he deployed in developing the extremely complex program which detects fake videos, was guided by his deep understanding of the state of the art of this leading edge technology\u201d. He went onto say that \u201cthe judges have been continually impressed by Gregory\u2019s projects at the BT Young Scientist competition over the past few years and they were delighted that he had progressed to winning the top award this year\u201d.<br>\nGregory will also represent Ireland at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists, which is scheduled to go ahead in Salamanca Spain in September 2021.\n                        <\/td>\n                    <\/tr>\n                <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<!--[if mso]>\n\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<![endif]-->\n                \n\t\t\t\t<!--[if mso]>\n\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<![endif]-->\n            <\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;table-layout: fixed !important;\">\n    <tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n        <tr>\n            <td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\" style=\"min-width: 100%;padding: 36px 18px 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                <table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-top: 2px solid #EAEAEA;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                    <tbody><tr>\n                        <td style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n                            <span><\/span>\n                        <\/td>\n                    <\/tr>\n                <\/tbody><\/table>\n<!--            \n                <td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\" style=\"padding: 18px;\">\n                <hr class=\"mcnDividerContent\" style=\"border-bottom-color:none;

The man walks 3\u00bd miles an hour: therefore the car was going at 21 miles an hour.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<strong>A walking puzzle<\/strong><br>\nIt will be found (and it is the key to the solution) that the man from B. can walk 7 miles while the man from A. can walk 5 miles. Say the distance<br>\nbetween the towns is 24 miles, then the point of meeting would be 14 miles from A. and the man from A. walked <img decoding=\"async\" height=\"20\" width=\"14\" src=\"\" style=\"border: 0;height: auto !important;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\">\u00a0miles per hour, while the man from<br>\nB. walked <img decoding=\"async\" height=\"20\" width=\"14\" src=\"\" style=\"border: 0;height: auto !important;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\">\u00a0miles per hour.
