Reusable maths games and puzzles are being distributed to homeless shelters, direct provision centres and community groups across Ireland.
Nursing homes, meals-on-wheels services and charities will also receive resources as part of 'Maths Week'.
This initiative, which is happening this week, is designed to "promote a positive attitude towards maths and its applications".
Maths Week Ireland coordinator Dr Sheila Donegan said that the brain-teasing maths puzzles that are being distributed "will inspire and intrigue people of all ages".
Dr Donegan said: "Maths is for everyone regardless of your age, ability or background and it's incredibly important in our lives.
"Our aim is to inspire families, schools, and community groups right across the country to view maths in a new way and to find it in unexpected places.
"By igniting a curiosity in maths, we hope everyone can appreciate that working with numbers can be both creative and fun."
Maths Week has partnered with FoodCloud for a second year to distribute these resources.
FoodCloud already works with a network of more than 600 community partners around the country to provide access to food and healthy meals.
Community development manager from FoodCloud, Eimear Delahunty, said: "Now more than ever we need to ensure that those in need aren't forgotten.
"FoodCloud is passionate about connecting meaningful initiatives with charity and community groups, so we were only too happy to team up with Maths Week once again to ensure that everyone right across the county can take part in all the Maths Week fun."
Maths Week is an inclusive event that attracts over 400,000 participants annually, including over 350,000 pupils in primary and post-primary schools.
Maths Week is coordinated by Calmast, South East Technological University's STEM Engagement centre and is supported by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Discover Programme, the Department of Education and Business in the Community Northern Ireland.
