Maths And Magic Primary school children love magic, and many tricks are based on maths. In this lively show, with plenty of audience participation, Rob demonstrates a number of his favourite maths-based tricks. These include tricks with calculators, magic squares and ‘mind-reading’. The tricks are great material for investigations in later maths lessons (some teacher notes are provided with the talk), and the shows are ideal for groups with a wide range of abilities. Children leave highly enthused and keen to try things out. For older children, Rob combines mind-reading tricks with puzzles and mathe-matical mysteries. He also challenges the audience to beat him at a game ... in which they invariably succeed after several failed attempts and a few clues.
