About this event
About Maths Explorers
We are Maths Explorers, grassroots maths activists, on a mission to get our country moving to the beat of maths. We take mathematical thinking outside the classroom and make it part of the community. Working on the ground at community events, in schools and with families, we actively blur the distinction between work and play, allowing children and adults to experience their own mathematical thinking without the fear of failure that can be experienced in more formal settings. Opportunities to engage in maths not as a mere memory test, but rather as a game of hide and seek, where every clue found can help us play the game more successfully, can open up more curiosity and pleasure in our maths journeys.
Join us in South Lambeth Library, SW8 1QP, 1st June, 11.30am for a taste of this experience! Whether your child loves, hates or is ambivalent towards maths, we’re sure to have something they’ll really enjoy. We are validated by the Children's University - please bring your passports or make sure to ask for your stamp if your child is part of the scheme!
Booking info

Some inspiration!
"Maths for the mathematician is like music is for the musician. It is everywhere. It is part of every experience because it is a way of thinking about and seeing the world. However, whilst everyone can appreciate and connect to music in their own way, not everyone has experienced this personal connection to mathematics; without this, the practice of maths can make as little sense and be as little pleasurable as practising scales on a photo of a keyboard. Experiencing joy & fun, whilst being deeply challenged, is a great place to redefine our journey with maths." Jason Gottfried, Creative Maths Director, Maths Explorers
