Maths, Puerile and Apalled......Maths show
Yes, a maths show.
Mathematics is the framework that underlies our universe, so let’s
get the pliers out and do some bending.
Maths, Puerile and Appalled, is a talk designed to show how even this purest
of disciplines can be turned to meaningless twaddle that still somehow sheds light
on the workings of the world.
Showing how numbers are all over the shop and how
they can effect not only the big things but also some of the small bits of life.
Card tricks, brainteasers, medieval siege catapults and anything else that I think will be worth trying will be found in this talk and are used to breathe some fresh life into what sadly, for a great many, is the driest of dry subjects. Maths is wonderful.
This talk is aimed at KS3, KS4 and KS5 and is constantly updated to stay with the maths and science curriculum and because audience feedback keeps giving me new ideas.
