Just before the Pandemic started I was getting in to giving talks to students and parents. This has happened when I have visited schools for professional development and is something I would like to do more of in the future. For now here are the talks I have ready!
Mean Girls – Mathematics and the ‘Mean’ing of Life
This talk is a fun look at the things we can and can’t know from summary statistics that might be used to describe us! What does the mean really ‘mean’.
The Proof of the Pudding
This talk is a giant live logic puzzle that I adapt to the location I am in. As I talk about the notion of proof through some of the subject’s greatest characters, the clues keep dropping! Who dunnit?
Thinking Mathematically
This talk is designed for parents to help understand the nature of mathematics, why we do it, why its important and why it is amazing. Its hands on and very easily accessible. The aim is for people to leave more inspired than frightened!
