Background information

Mathematics B-day
During the Dutch Mathematics Day Contest students work in teams of about 3 to 4 members on an open mathematical problem solving task during a couple of hours. The product of this work is a report (and sometimes a presentation).
Using your skills in a new setting
The task gives the students the opportunity to show what they have learned from mathematics and how they can use the knowledge and skills in a new situation.
