Friday Lectures
St Andrew’s Prep continued its programme of Friday Lectures this month with a superb delivery from Mathemagician, Andrew Jeffrey. Andrew, a father at the school, is the director of Magic Message Ltd, a training organisation that specialises in producing exciting resources and professional development for teachers and teaching assistants. He has taught for 20 years and is an inspector, lecturer and author. His passion for helping children learn, love and understand the patterns and structures of maths has led him to become an international conference speaker.
Andrew’s talk entitled Mathematics: Art, Language, Science or Magic? unlocked some of the mysteries of maths and enthused adults and children alike; he even allowed the audience to use their mobile phones – for a few calculations! Andrew’s desire is to develop confident and competent mathematicians and his talk was certainly accessible, fun and inspiring.
