Pre-university studies and Sunway International School students recently attended a Maths workshop by Charlie Gilderdale, NRICH Project Secondary Coordinator and Senior Research Associate of the University of Cambridge.
In the Convincing Yourself, Convincing Others workshop, students had hands-on learning with mathematics and patterns. They were taught to notice patterns, ways to determine the logic of the pattern and enhance the quality of their arguments on problem solving. The workshop exposed students to visual and written forms of expressions. They learned to connect language and mathematics, developing skills for clear, strategic, critical and creative thinking.
