Title: Binary Problems and Investigations
Presenter: Dr Chris Pritchard
Date: Wednesday, 15th March 2017
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.
Venue: Exeter Maths School, Rougemont House, Castle Street, Exeter, EX4 3PU
