Maths Inspiration - Playing For Real show - Sheffield Crucible
Inspire your Year 10s and 11s with a maths show that will captivate even your unenthusiastic mathematicians. If you think games are just for fun, then think again. Games contain some of the most important maths you’ll ever need in everyday life, from managing money to out-thinking competitors. In this feast of mathematical games our speakers will demonstrate the unlikely usefulness of probability, puzzles and percentages. You’ll get a chance to play some games, and you could even win a prize. It’s the most important fun you’ll have this year.
A unique two hour, highly interactive maths show that will give your Year 10s and 11s a better understanding of how maths relates to the real world.
