Join in the Maths Jam!
Matt Parker is organising gathering for like-minded mathematically inclined people with an interest in problem solving and puzzles.
What's it about? It's a chance to share, discuss, solve or be confounded by a vast array of mathematical puzzles in an informal and inspirational atmosphere.
For students ...
By looking at problems, puzzles, games and other challenges you can gain a wealth of techniques and materials for approaching problems, both real-world and in your studies.
For teachers ...
You'll get:
- A vast selection of stimulating starters to stretch and challenge even the most demanding students
- An awareness of how to encourage the most able students to enrich their learning of mathematics
- A variety of techniques to lead students to develop their thinking skills and to question and work with others collaboratively to solve mathematical problems.
Professionals ...
Puzzles and games form a microcosm in which we can explore problem-solving techniques and analytical styles.
Everyone else ...
It should be a fun, stimulating event that let you connect, or re-connect, with why maths can be FUN!
