The Challenge of Change
Annual Conference, Training Workshops and AGM Wednesday 24 th June 2009![]()
The Stables, High Melton, Doncaster Keynote address Joan O’Hagan “Doing mathematics – maelstrom or thermal?” Maelstroms are whirlpools that can suck you down. Thermals are bubbles of hot air that can carry you to great heights. Both are exciting; and doing mathematics can be like being in either. Even thinking about doing mathematics often brings into play a rich vortex of intuition, emotion, judgement and logic. We’re going to explore – in what I hope will be a stimulating and entertaining but not mathematically intimidating session - how these interact. You may be surprised by some of what happens; I hope you’ll share and gain some insights which will be directly useful to you as teachers...... and you may even find your inner mathematician.
