Students take on Further Maths

A group of KS4 students enjoyed the Mathemagic event at Manchester University in July.

Maths challenges included learning about and experimenting with topology, assumptions, Mathematical magic tricks, moebius strips and use of binary.

One student said:

“It blew my mind to see how conditional formatting in an excel spreadsheet can be used to recreate a photograph!”

Teacher of Maths, Mr Sharrock, said:

“The boys behaved excellently and did their very best with every activity. It was a pleasure to witness their brains melting at the Maths ingenuity!

"I am sure they were inspired by the mathematics they witnessed and this will encourage them to pursue post-GCSE Maths in the future.”
