People often say things like, ‘I’m not a mathematics person. I can’t do mathematics’. That is probably true if you think of mathematics as number crunching or following algorithms. However, that is a very narrow way of thinking about the discipline. Mathematics, by its very nature, is one of the most creative of disciplines. We are not constrained by the empirical world while doing mathematics - only by the limitations of our minds.
In this chat, we will explore a few questions including:
If you enjoy mathematics, you will have fun talking about it. If you think you do not, our hidden agenda is to convert you to someone who loves mathematics!

"It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings" - Ann Landers
While success could be defined differently by everyone, as parents we give our best to our children when we teach them to be inquisitive. This will come from questioning and inquiring.
Come join us as we discuss how, as parents, we can fan the flame of innate curiosity of our children.

We constantly, and often subconsciously, make judgements about people and their actions - whether what they said or did was ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

If others don’t agree with our judgements, how do we resolve the differences?
