At the National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street, members of the School of Mathematics' Outreach Team joined other scientists from the University to show off what it is that makes their subject great. Saturday 9th April- Wednesday April- 10:00- 16:00: Edinburgh Science FestivalĪfter two years, we were again able to contribute in person activities to the festival. During the live online event they are able to listen to our students and staff members discussing the problems, and to ask questions. For further information about our Maths Circles please visit this page. Participants receive a selection of our fantastic maths problems to try in advance. This is a workshop for children aged 7-14 and their families. Once a month, since August 2020: Virtual Maths Circle For further information please visit this page. (Once on the page, open the window named "Host a Maths Circle at your school") We also discuss how such resources can be used in the classroom and can spark curiosity and help children develop their mathematical thinking.
Our contribution to the Edinburgh Science Festival online program in 2020 is still accessible.Įxplore our activities and resources, and find out how Maths underpins many aspects of our lives, and how we use it in many contexts, much more often than we think.įour times per year, since December 2020: Virtual Maths Circles and Open Ended Problems- workshop for teachersĭuring these online workshops for teachers and educators, we give a brief introduction to our Maths Circles, and then we explore some of the resources we use.
