The combination of Lego, the obsession of this writer’s early years, and math, the preoccupation of his working days, means there IS ONLY ONE GIFT that I will consider this year – the Lego Calculator. (via Rex – site not always suitable for minors).

We suggest young, aspiring mathematicians everywhere do the following:
- Buy Lego to build whole new worlds out of plastic bricks;
- Subscribe to Math-Whizz to learn the most important skills you’ll ever need;
- Use your ‘Building Blocks Calculator‘ to calculate the trajectory of your Mars rocket when you’re a top-notch scientist and pioneering astronaut in twenty-five years’ time.
Job done!
