Maths LIVE! is designed to give learners the opportunity to come face to face with expert speakers whose knowledge and skill will add value to the teaching and learning experience.
Through their real-life experiences our speakers will give students the chance to hear how mathematics can be used to develop models of real situations and learn that they can be more or less effective depending on the assumptions that have been made. There will be the opportunity to ask questions of the industry practitioners and learn about careers associated with the subject during the interactive question and answer sessions.
As part of the immersive educational experience, each student will receive their own workbook in advance of the event for pre-trip preparation as well as park challenges for them to complete throughout the course of the weekend, all covering the fundamentals of Maths at Key Stage 4.
