The Ladygrove Stemettes...


...Welcome you to our 3rd Image result for stemillionsClub session.

This week we had a cackle at a Maths joke:

Image result for pi pie joke

And we focused on a Maths challenge, inspired by Dr. Eugenia Cheng - mathematician, pianist and best-selling author of books such as “How to bake Pi” (which teaches you mathematical principles through baking desserts!)

We were challenged to prove Pythagoras' Theorem (c² = a² + b²) by using Starburst sweets!

We managed to prove it, thinking carefully about how to approach the problem systematically and by collaborating effectively, listening to each others' ideas.
