Session - Mathematical magic and mystery – engaging children with the wow factor
For most people, the expression 'creative maths' sounds like a contradiction in terms. But real maths *is* creative - it's about discovery, serendipity and surprise. In this talk, Rob gives some of his favourite examples of games, puzzles and tricks that can be used to bring excitement to lessons for children of all ages and aptitudes.
