Dive into the surprising world of Pascal’s Triangle in this hands-on workshop packed with patterns and discovery.
About this Event

In this workshop, participants will explore how a seemingly simple triangle of numbers hides a wealth of fascinating mathematical ideas. Through experimenting and investigating, they’ll uncover unexpected patterns and connections.

Along the way, we will discover how Pascal’s Triangle links to geometric shapes, probability and even fractals. Through practical activities and puzzles, participants will explore some of its most intriguing features—and see how a simple idea can reveal deep and beautiful mathematics.

Perfect for curious minds, this workshop is all about spotting patterns, asking questions and uncovering the hidden structures within numbers.

For children who have just completed Years 7, 8 and 9 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 11–14 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
