The Christchurch Art Centre s great hall was packed full of people doing maths in disguise on Sunday.
Nine craft stations were set up with one goal - to engage as many people as possible in the subject so many of us fear. What s happening here is sort of deeply mathematical, but it s also not what a lot of people experience as mathematics, says University of Canterbury mathematics lecturer David Pomeroy.
The format proved appealing to all ages and stages - and it works. It s brilliant, says mother Hannah. They don t really realise they re doing maths, just having fun and definitely learning as they go.
