With last night’s session on cycling sciences and technologies\u00a0fully booked, and primary and secondary practitioners working together with the Dundee Science Centre team, and School of Education at University of Dundee to share innovative practice, and challenge thinking on learning and teaching, I thought it might be worth blogging to say we’ve a few places remaining on next week’s one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Maths of Medals: <\/strong>Is it the winning or the taking part that counts? The maths behind sporting competition for second and third level<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday 19 February 2014 1615 \u2013 1830 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Who topped the 2012 London Olympic Medal table? Can we predict which nation will perform the best in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow? How on earth is international trampolining, high board diving or equestrian scored?<\/p>\n

Data, analysis and ideas of chance and uncertainty come together as we consider this engaging context for mathematics and its impact on the world, past, present and future.<\/p>\n

Recommended for: Practitioners planning for learning and teaching at second and third level in mathematics<\/p>\n

This event will be held at Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee, DD1 4HN. This event will be held at Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee, DD1 4HN.
