Mathmas Workshop
On Friday 5th December, 60 of our Year 7 students took part in Merry Mathsmas, an interactive Zoom workshop led by mathematician Zoe Griffiths. Alongside a range of engaging puzzles, students explored the fold-and-cut theory-discovering how, with just one cut, they could create all sorts of surprising shapes from a single sheet of paper. It was a fun and thoughtful session that gave students plenty to enjoy and talk about.
Maths Inspiration Show
On December 1st, some of our Year 11 pupils visited the Matilda Theatre in London for a Maths Inspiration Show. The show included talks from Zoe Griffiths, Cambridge engineer, Hugh Hunt and mathematician and professional juggler, Colin Wright.
Pupils left excited, laughing, and inspired by how creative and engaging maths can be.
