Working with children and young people? Chris Budd and Sara Santos

The challenge: Maths is often perceived by young people as … Dull, boring, uncool, irrelevant, only done by nerds But.. Young people are the mathematicians of the future and can often be very excited about maths The opportunity.. There are primary and 3,000 maintained secondary schools, in the UK with pupils How can we enrich their mathematical experience?

Maths Masterclasses.. How everyone can get involved Saturday morning classes for young people Mixture of talk and workshops Based in a university, linked to local schools Huge variety of topics eg. Mazes*, codes*, deep sea diving, dancing * Involve sex and violence! RI Classes founded by Christopher Zeeman

How a typical KS3 masterclass works 10am: Arrive am: Talk am: Workshop 1 11am-11.15am: Refreshments 11.15am-11.45am: Talk am-12.15pm: Workshop pm-12.30pm: Conclusions 12.30pm: Depart Repeat over 6-8 sessions

Other ways to get involved with children and young people Direct engagement with schools.. Widening participation MOTIVATE video conferences Writing text books INTERNET … Plus Maths, Cipher Challenge, MMP, NRICH Maths Inspiration (Rob Eastaway)

Science fairs Traditionally maths is under represented at fairs Eg. Cheltenham.. Only one maths event! But the British Science Festival now has a number of maths events Maths of Origami Bath Taps Into Science … 1/3 of exhibits are maths

Involving Undergraduates Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme UAS: Simon Singh Bath Maths Communicators: 15 Students do a Masterclass, take part in Bath Taps, take a school lesson and do a written activity All for degree credit MMG, HE-STEM

What works? Almost anything, provided it is done with energy, enthusiasm and commitment. An enormous amount of maths can be put over if it is done well and relates to the young people directly

How to get involved.. Basically just go for it.. Its great fun and brings great rewards Some organisations to team up with HE-STEM … Michael Grove RI : Maths Masterclasses … Sara Santos MMP/MOTIVATE … Jenny Gage STEMNET LMS (Holgate), IMA (Popular lecturers)
