Hazel’s AIM High Maths Days
Hazel’s aim is to ‘bring maths to life’ for students and regularly runs a range of maths experiences for schools.
Her AIM High days involve a range of age appropriate activities. The focus is predominately on problem solving and using and applying mathematics with a challenging but fun road show of activities. The day usually starts with a little bit of 'Maths Magic' but students also get the opportunity to work collaboratively with game playing and paper folding activities. Throughout the day there are opportunities for students to think, reason and communicate mathematically.
Hazel’s A.I.M. High Maths Days focus on children using and applying maths to solve puzzles and problems. The outlines for the sessions are fluid and flexible depending on the group Hazel is working with.
The children work in pairs or small groups to encourage purposeful discussion and collaboration. They collect crystals which they can exchange for larger stones as a they complete tasks and challenges. A little bit like the Crystal Maze!
Hazel also runs sessions for 'reluctant' mathematicians or tailored days for individual schools.
The structure of the day remains very similar for reluctant learners but the activities may be scaffolded more if necessary. The practical and hands on nature of the activities provided engages the learners. Hazel may include some different challenges that the children work on in groups such as solving small number problems to crack the code to open the treasure chest or tackling a maths roadshow with a range of practical but not too challenging problem solving tasks.
