An integrated hands on workshop designed to demonstrate practical applications of mathematics in science.

Discover how pulleys and levers make work easier. Determine wind speed.
How high is that building?
Can you work out the number of animals in the bushland?
Bend and bounce light using prisms and mirrors...+ many others!

Students perform investigations in density, buoyancy, ecological sampling, the weather and reflected light angles.

Working Mathematically: Stage 3
Hands on Activities

Specific Outcomes: Mathematics K to 6

NS3.3: - selects and applies appropriate strategies for multiplication and division.

DS3.1: - displays and interprets data in graphs of many to one correspondence

MS3.1: - selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths, distances and perimeters

SGS3.1 - identifies three dimensional objects, in particular prisms and pyramids...

Statistics using an euler disk

Mathematical concepts cover algebraic techniques, measurement, integers, fractions and number patterns, angles and geometric figures.

This workshop is ideal for gifted an talented students or for those teachers wanting to extend their next maths class.

Specific Outcomes: Science & Technology

Physical phenomena

PP S2.4- collects and manipulates a range of simple machines and describes how they work...
- analyses the operation of a variety of lifting devices, comparing the ease of lifting with and without the device.

Earth and its Surroundings

ES3.6 - uses a thermometer, rain gauge, wind gauge to record local weather...

Pulleys and force measurement

Requirements

- Appropriate for Years 5 to 6 with a maximum of 30 students per workshop

- 12 tables arranged around the edge of the room. 3 power outlets. Chairs are not required.

- Duration 90 minutes, set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 45 minutes

Cost

- $195 inc. GST per 90 minute workshop.

For schools outside of Sydney please contact us to discuss how this workshop can visit your school as part of a regional visit

Unlike others we don't charge per student as we know that this places an additional administrative load on your school office. Most schools tend to fill the workshops based on our recommended maximum number of students. If you have any questions please contact us.
