University of Edinburgh School of Mathematics Event
Three to four times a year the University of Edinburgh runs an event called the (in-person) "Edinburgh Maths Circle": a free drop-in session where children aged from 5 to 16 enjoy learning mathematics with NRICH problems and other hands-on mathematical activities.
During this half day workshop, teachers and educators will be given an introduction to what a Maths Circle is, advice on how to run one in their school/community, and what are the main issues to be aware of.
Participants will then have a chance to see a Maths Circle in action, have a look at how visitors engage with the activities, and talk to visitors.
All participants who attend the workshop will have the the opportunity to borrow some of the resources and run a Maths Circle in their classes and/or communities.

To celebrate World Book Day, we’re thrilled to welcome back award-winning Glasgow-based author Maisie Chan. Last year, Maisie joined our Maths Tales programme to discuss her novel Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths and answer questions from enthusiastic pupils. We’ve followed up with Maisie for an exclusive interview, perfect for those who missed the session or had more burning questions.
