MA conference 2012


Here are some pictures from the makemaths session at this years' MA conference.  

We started with some finger puzzles, such as making a pentagram from rubber bands, and how to make various polyhedra with our fingers.

Then we tried a few activities based on polyhedra such as exploring stellation and truncation, as well as considering angle deficiency.

We then got excited about making slide-togethers with a few people making models I didn't know were possible.

Thanks to everyone who came. I hope you had some fun, and maybe aroused an interest in making things!
