		WORKSHOP  DETAILS

Venue: Edgeley Business Centre (Avondale Road, Edgeley, Stockport)
Timing: 10am-3.30pm, Saturday 13th May

Aim of workshop: To provide "cascade" training in using
	1. The Multicultural Crystal Maze
	2. The BIG 2000 show

The Crystal Maze consists of fascinating mathematical problems from around
the Globe, developed by Ruth Dodd and team, who will run the workshop. The
Crystal Maze is an annual success at ATM conferences, and has also been
ecstatically received by children of all ages at the North East Maths Fair
and York Maths FunFair (dates this year, 17th June and 21st October
respectively).

The BIG 2000 show has been developed by the British Interactive Group. It
runs for exactly 2000 seconds and illustrates varied features of the number
2000. Lots of scope for development and amendment by your local team!

These mathematical experiences will promote enjoyment of mathematcs for
children, parents and teachers.
IDEAL FOR SUMMER NUMERACY SCHOOLS!
Maths Year 2000 funding may be available for follow-up events.
