Join us to work on some of our favourite mathematical problems, see how considering one question can prompt further enquiry, and discover that everyone can enjoy thinking mathematically.
Come prepared to explore, discuss, conjecture, reason and generalise. The day(s) will offer plenty of opportunities to be playful with mathematics, to compare strategies, to make unexpected connections, and to become excited by discoveries.
This course is offered in conjunction with Mathematics is not a spectator sport ! (part 2) which takes place on on Sunday 10 December 2017.
Each of these discrete days will offer different starting points and mathematical content, with a chance to experience a variety of mathematical journeys. Participants are encouraged to attend both events, but each day will be self-contained in order to accommodate those who can only attend one of the dates.
The course(s) will be accessible to anyone who is confident with GCSE / O Level mathematics. Most of the time will be spent working in small groups and then sharing ideas with others.
If you are unable to join us for either of these days, you might be interested in: Maths for parents. A series of workshops for parents who would like to know more about enjoying mathematics with their children (8 - 13 yrs).
