6th Form:
‘Serious Maths, Serious Fun’ is the new 6th form strand of our popular ‘Mathstastic’ programme of hands-on maths for schools. As part of a day of challenging and creative maths activities, students will be shown demonstrations from our live maths show and have the chance to try out various interactive maths puzzles and problems before being challenged to come up with their own puzzle or demonstration. Time will be given to develop their new activity with support from our experienced team of ‘Mathstastic’ demonstrators and the finale of the day will be a session where groups present their demonstrations and share their views on what makes maths exciting and engaging.
‘Serious Maths, Serious Fun’ will be held on 1st and 2nd July - for more information please call (0191) 243 8243 or e-mail education@life.org.uk
