Juggling Numbers
This show explores the maths of juggling. Dr Ken explores how equations are used to predict the movement of juggling objects, the development of a numerical notation to describe different tricks, the use of virtual reality and why the development of juggling robots .
An entertaining, educational maths show inspiring curiosity for maths, science and technology.
How many tricks can one juggler perform? Will he run out patterns? Does he forget which ones have already been shown? Luckily there is a solution.
With the help of some maths it’s possible to show patterns as a sequence of numbers, discover new tricks plus explore incredible possibilities using virtual reality and robots.
This show can be combined with a how to juggle, juggling on the moon, playing with numbers juggling and advanced manipulation skills workshop.
Content includes a variety of :
- Problem solving
- repeating patterns
- observations
- number sequences
- real world applications
- equations
- combinations and permutations
- prediction
- computer science
- virtual reality
Each presentation :
- Reinforces key curriculum STEM concepts.
- Enhances and extends aspects of the STEM curriculum
- Enables audiences to think fondly upon STEM subjects.
- Show how STEM affects us in the real world.
