The aim of our resources is to inspire the next generation of engineers by showcasing how STEM skills can positively impact society.
Maths magic highlights the importance of mathematical thinking in solving complex engineering problems. Activities include:
- Mind reading - maths can help you to ‘read minds’? Not magic really - just algebra!
- Card magic - baffle your friends with this trick based on the ternary number system.
- Magic hands - use your fingers as a magic ‘short cut’ to multiplication
- Magic multiplications - multiply up to the ten times table, but what about higher numbers, like 23 x 12
Students can explore the world of engineering and learn about the diverse roles engineers play, while developing essential transferable skills such as problem solving, teamwork, communication and social awareness.
