Are you ready for a mathematical space adventure? Prepare for a journey to the Planet Turasmara!
Turasmara is a distant planet with much intelligent life far, far away in another Galaxy. Turasmara is very proud of its eco-friendly traditions, but all of their supplies are transported by intergalactic spacecraft which uses a lot of fuel. They are looking for some Eco Champions to use their mathematical skills to help lessen the impact on their environment.
Your Mission
Can you solve the six maths challenges, and help Turasmara on their way to a more eco-friendly future?

To celebrate World Book Day, we’re thrilled to welcome back award-winning Glasgow-based author Maisie Chan. Last year, Maisie joined our Maths Tales programme to discuss her novel Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths and answer questions from enthusiastic pupils. We’ve followed up with Maisie for an exclusive interview, perfect for those who missed the session or had more burning questions.
