Does maths make you ill? 'Maths anxiety' is a real thing, as @stranbelfast's @trishaeaton explained to the BBC World Service's 'World Update' programme this morning. Listen now, from the 50 minute mark: https://t.co/MOTfqUEQvy

This week's task is something to get stuck into! What prompts might you give pupils? What prerequisites need to be checked before starting? How might pupils prove their solution is correct?
We'd love to see your / pupils' solutions! #mathschat#masteryPD
