Maths evening at Goose Green school

[Coach Beth]

Goose Green PTA was awarded a grant from the Dulwich Community Council to run a 'Maths, Magic and Mystery' workshop for families in the East Dulwich area. The idea is to help parents and children discover the fun and magic behind maths and the workshop will be highly interactive, involving children and parents alike. We are running the workshop on the evening of the 4th October, 6:30pm-7:30pm. It will be led by local author Rob Eastaway who wrote the bestselling 'Maths for Mums and Dads'. All children (from any school not just Goose Green) from Year 1 to Year 6 with their parents and carers are welcome! We'll have a creche for younger children and juice/biscuits will be provided.

You'll need to get a free ticket (we have limited spaces so the event needs to be ticketed) from the Goose Green Primary School office so drop by the office (entrance to the school on Tintagel Crescent) anytime from 8:30 - 4:30pm.

I should have mentioned that if you aren't sure where the school is or want to email the office to request tickets, this link takes you to the school's contact detail page on the school website.

What a great evening. Well done Goose Green PTA.

First of many maths magic tricks.....

Think of a number.

Double it.

Add ten.

Divide your answer by two.

Finally take away the number you 1st thought of.

And your answer will be....five! Maths magic for everyone.

Thanks so much James! And thanks to everyone who came along - it was GREAT to see such a mix of children and parents come along. It was a lovely evening with a full house. We've had a quick scan of the evaluation forms and they were overwhelming positive! We'll post a short summary report once we have had a more detailed look. Again thanks so much to the Dulwich Community Council who made this community event possible through their grant. Who would have thought maths could be so much fun?
