Some KS3 pupils from Chantry recently visited the Centre of Life in Newcastle to be part of the 2020 Festival Maths. It was a whole day event where specialists from Durham University shared their enthusiasm for Maths with our students. This involved lots of hand-on activities including designing, making and launching rockets, creating a Mobius strip from a bagel, and investigating modular numbers through the medium of card tricks. The pupils also learned how to navigate using the stars during the planetarium show, and they comleted a maths trail in the Life’s newly opened space zone.
