3, 2, 1, Go!

Without mathematics, sport just wouldn't exist. Things like time-keeping, scoring, speed, distance and probability are all underpinned by mathematics. Produced with input from the University of Cambridge Millennium Mathematics Project, 3, 2, 1, Go! sees children solve problems given to them by their sporting heroes. In the classroom, children watching can then be set challenges of their own. 3, 2, 1, Go! aims to make mathematics fun while being firmly set in the real world of sport in general and the Olympics in particular. All told, 3, 2, 1, Go! takes 30 lucky children into the mathematical world that underpins their favourite sport. They are taken to some of the greatest sporting locations across the UK, swept up on a behind-the-scenes tour of the venue and get to meet a sporting legend. But the spotlight soon turns to them as they are set a challenge where they will have to get to grips with some real mathematics. Will they complete their challenges and win the gold medal?
