Presentation College celebrated Maths Week with great enthusiasm and enjoyment. Puzzle sheets were distributed in class and provided hours of brain teasing, problem solving and FUN!

On Tuesday, 13th October the Transition Year students attended a talk in Carlow I.T. entitled "Hidden Secrets from the World of Dr. Maths." Steve Humble, from Newcastle University, believes that the fundamentals of maths can be taught via practical experiments. In his presentation he explored randomness and ways in which maths can order the chaos around us. He also delved into mathematical history to explain how maths can be used to predict the future.

The students really enjoyed this interactive presentation and participated fully in the various exercises and posers with which they were challenged.
