Exploring the Everyday Hidden World of Maths
A fun-filled day of mathematics with the multi-talented Barney MT from House of Maths who has been inspiring the whole school with his passion, tricks and insights into the hidden maths of our everyday lives and answering an array of questions........ What shape is a football, and why? Why were the Romans rubbish at maths? How many sides does a Flexagon have? What does “one million” of something look like? Throughout the day we discovered how to use “zero” to do magic tricks, took a tour of numbers, patterns, shapes and capacity, and Barney showed us why it’s a good idea to have 60 minutes in an hour.
