Continuing our series of great ideas to keep learning and stay active.
Maths
National Office
National Office is planning a series of online events to celebrate Maths Week 2020 from 9th to 14th November.
These will be fun, interactive and cater to all levels of maths abilities and interests. Keep an eye on our website to find out more and book your place. In the meantime try out some of our maths challenge puzzles which can be found on our learning pages.
Maths Week England
Maths Week England have some fun and stimulating puzzles on their website to try out. A Yohaku is a new type of number puzzle that will test your number sense and problem solving skills. Each Yohaku is either an additive or a multiplicative puzzle (as indicated by the symbol in the bottom right of the grid). Your task is to fill in the empty cells such that they give the sum or product shown in each row and column. Try these out on the Maths England website.
Pizza and Pi
How do you decide what a pizza is worth? This video is a good place to start.
Where’s The Maths in That?
These Where’s the maths in that? resources developed by the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme demonstrate that mathematics can be found all around. Although designed for schools these resources are suitable for all ages. Using photographs and pictures will stimulate creativity, discussion and debate – enabling people to talk about mathematics and that mathematics is not always about right and wrong answers and written methods.
Survey on Informal Care
ENTWINE is currently looking for carers and care recipients willing to share their experiences and complete the survey, in order that the voices of as many informal carers and people in need of care can be heard. Informal caregivers are defined as those who provide care to a relative or friend with a chronic illness, disability or other long-lasting health or care need.
If you provide or receive care from a spouse, adult child, partner, relative, friend or neighbour… the ENTWINE team would be extremely grateful for your help with this multinational study.
To take part in the survey: https://bit.ly/2DYXtE6
