Discover, describe, and test patterns in this hands-on session. Turn observations into predictions and explore if patterns can be proven.
About this Event

Can you spot a pattern when you see one? In this hands-on workshop, participants will hunt for patterns in numbers, shapes, words and more—and learn how mathematicians think about them.

Can you predict what will come next in a sequence and how do you know if your prediction will always work? Together, we’ll push beyond guessing to testing and proving, discovering the difference between a pattern that seems right and one that can be trusted every time.

Join Jenny Sharp for an interactive session full of puzzles, discussion and discovery, where you’ll sharpen your pattern-spotting skills, learn how to describe patterns mathematically, and think like a mathematician.

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.
