A special information evening for parents as part of Maths Week Ireland [1], called Encouraging Your Child to have Confidence in Maths, will take place in the Centre on Tuesday, October 15th at 7:30 p.m. Places are limited and booking is essential.
This seminar is targeted at parents of primary pupils and is aimed at giving them strategies to encourage their children to have confidence in, engage with and enjoy Mathematics.
The speaker, Charlie Gilderdale, has been working the last 18 years at the University of Cambridge, initially training new mathematics teachers and more recently as a member of the Millennium Mathematics Project, working in schools with students and teachers. His recent work has focussed on problem solving and on creating opportunities for learning mathematics through exploration and discussion.
