We're hoping that today is the day everyone puts up their decorations, so we can have some photos of interiors and exteriors that make us go wow! Do send us your snaps!

A round-up today of some of the other Advent Calendars you can access online - these will get you thinking and puzzling.

The first one is from the NRICH webiste - it has 24 different maths puzzles to try, some are games you experiment with online.

Their sister website PlusMaths has a set of Wild Maths activities to encourage creativity. Give them a go, but like this calendar, you can't click ahead, so keep visiting!

And finally for today, Chalkdust Magazine, a new publication for Maths fans, has a set of instructions for some Christ-mathsy crafts, like the Flexagon above.

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
