LivMS Event: * *Date:* 23 Nov, 2013 * *Time:* 09:30 * *Presenter:* Stella Dudzic and Chris Robbins * *Title:* Using Meaningful Real Life Problems to Support Mathematics Learning * *Audience:* Teachers of Higher-Tier GCSE Mathematics and AS and A-Level Core Mathematics * *Venue:* Eden Building, Hope Park Campus, Liverpool Hope University * *Contact:* Martin Bamber: mailto:m.bamber@liv.ac.uk 0151 795 0345 / 07807 106696 ---- Do your mathematics students often ask: * What is this for? * Why are we doing this? * How will this help me when I get a job? Don’t you often wish you could explain areas of mathematics with reference to meaningful examples from the real world? This course will help answer these questions. Presenters: * Stella Dudzic, Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) http://www.mei.org.uk * Chris Robbins, Grallator, http://www.grallator.co.uk Aims: * To develop your knowledge and skills of how mathematics is used in the real-world, * To enable you to give your learners ideas of where and how maths is used in meaningful real life contexts * To enable you to help your students to solve problems arising in such contexts Suitability: This course will suit all teachers of Higher-Tier GCSE Mathematics and AS and A Level Core Mathematics. Programme: A detailed programme will be sent out to delegates nearer to the event, but in brief the day will consist of a series of short, themed ‘workshops’ covering such diverse contexts as building a musical instruments, constructing an electronic thermometer, the geometry of a satellite dish and a discussion of optimisation problems in industry. The content will be at a level commensurate with Higher-Tier GCSE and AS Level Core Mathematics. Cost: The cost of the event is £50 per teacher attending. Payment will be by BACS transfer and full details will be provided to organisations once a booking has been received.
