Myself (along with @RobinMath3) presented at the @CEMC summer conference this week and at some of the other sessions there were a couple of nice resources. And because it was the CEMC conference you know that there would be problem solving. So of course people shared some resource. In this case, we were sad to hear of the passing of Don Steward due to COVID but that his family maintained his site which has a lot of resources. Check this huge resource out

Each squad in 2023 Women’s World Cup has 23 players, so probability theory says we expect around half the squads to have two members with the same birthday (d/m). Neither England nor Australia have a matching pair, but out of 32 squads, 15 do! The goddess Fortuna is working well

Classic: Choose any two (square) numbers on main diagonal of a multiplication table. Find their sum & their difference. Also, use the two square numbers to make a square in the grid. Sum the two entries in the remaining corners. Prove you are sure to have a Pythagorean triple! pic.twitter.com/efOPjH6OAV
