Time:              6:30 pm for 7 pm start

Summary:     Binary numbers (and their kin) turn up in a variety of situations in elementary mathematics. We will consider some problems and investigations in which binary can be sued, from modelling paper-folding to the generation of bubble diagrams, and from the arrangement of Cuisenaire rods to shunting trucks.  All of the contexts are suitable for 11-16 year olds but they will bring challenge and surprise to all who attend.
