Rob Eastaway’s Curious Maths
Everyone loves a quiz – but this quiz is a bit curious. First, there are only seven questions. Second, most people get most of the questions wrong (but that’s fine because nobody is recording anybody’s score). And third, you’ll discover some really curious things about the real world as you go along. This is maths like you might never have seen it before. Enjoy! Rob Eastaway was the very first presenter at Maths Week. Rob is a mathematician, author and broadcaster. His show Puzzling Surprises – will present entertaining examples of counter-intuitive maths, from Pythagoras to Pascal’s Triangle.
The Curious Maths Quiz is for students in 1st and 2nd years in secondary school and years 10 and 11
