Hamilton Walk

16/10/2024 @ 13:30 - 15:00 -

The walk commemorates Hamilton’s famous creation of a strange new number system, called Quaternions, on the banks of the Royal Canal in Dublin on October 16, 1843. Quaternions now play a fundamental role in computer games and animation, special effects in movies, space navigation and many other areas. The walk will retrace Hamilton’s steps from Dunsink Observatory to Broombridge in Cabra where he had his Eureka moment.

Maths Week 2024 – Card Gaming | Upper Primary School Students

17/10/2024 @ 09:45 - 10:45 -

So many games in cards involve using maths and mental maths without us even knowing we’re doing it! The children will play a few warm up whole class games with probability and place value and then we will learn a few games of patience which involve learning number bonds of 2 digit numbers. Hopefully the children can play these in the classroom and at home.
