Maths Circle - Post Primary

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE IS MARY IMMACULATE COLLEGE, LIMERICK

Have you started a Maths Circle in your school?

Inspired by the interest in an earlier workshop about Maths Circles, we offer another one for Maths teachers in Secondary School. At this workshop, we will provide ideas, methodologies and practical advice, but we also see it as an opportunity for like-minded teachers to get together and share their experience. The workshop will take place at Mary Immaculate College Limerick

on Monday, 3 April 2017 from 7 to 9 pm.

If you wish to attend, please register at the link provided on http://www.maths.mic.ul.ie/mc.html

Here is some background information.

Maths Circles are lunch-time or after-school clubs, run by teachers in their schools. They provide learning activities in an informal setting that are designed to foster enjoyment of mathematics in young people. Their tradition goes back to more than a century in some countries in central and eastern Europe. In Ireland, Maths Circles were started a few years ago in the Cork area.

The Maths Circles Ireland initiative offers teachers the opportunity to enhance the teaching of creative problem solving in schools, based on our Maths Circles Handbook with fully-detailed and class room tested lesson plans. It can be downloaded for free from mathscircles.ie.

Please pass this information on to anyone who might be interested. Feel free to post it on your facebook or twitter accounts.
