Maths Arcade

Building on the Maths Arcade project

Noel-Ann Bradshaw, University of Greenwich was supported to build on the success of the University of Greenwich Maths Cafe, renaming it the Maths Arcade in the project 'Building on the Maths Arcade: supporting mathematics learning'.

Mathematical thinking workshop

We supported a workshop at Greenwich, Developing mathematical thinking through problems, puzzles and games, on 1st July 2011. Below are some resources from that workshop.

Here are the presentation files from the workshop Developing mathematical thinking through problems, puzzles and games.

• Noel-Ann Bradshaw: Encouraging 1st year undergraduates to develop their mathematical thinking;
• Chris Sangwin Developing mathematical reasoning: reflections on a university problem solving course;
• Edmund Harriss: University mathematics for non-mathematicians: puzzles, culture and making;
• Noel-Ann Bradshaw: University of Greenwich Maths Cafe;
• Colin Graham shared a LiveBinder with links from his talk on mathematical origami (users may need to install a Japanese font to view some pages correctly!).

Maths Arcade Uptake Programme

To support the takeup of the successful Maths Arcade project at other universities, we supported the Maths Arcade Uptake Programme. New Maths Arcades will be started at Salford, Keele, Sheffield Hallam and Leicester.
