Magic maths day at Prep School

Published: 14 December, 2010

Mathematicians from Years 5 and 6 got to see the subject in a new light when they took part in a Maths in Magic workshop.

Run by Dr Andy Norris from the Senior School, and with the help of Year 9 pupils, the Prep children were shown lots of maths tricks that left them wondering, 'is it magic or is it maths?'.

Dr Norris said: "It was great for the younger children to work with pupils from the Senior School and everyone had a lot of fun.  I wanted to show them that maths can sometimes be interesting and exciting!"
