Art Maths has been around for as long as Maths has been around. In Ancient Greece the study of geometry brought us all those brilliant tessellated pottery designs and mosaics. Their architecture is an attempt to reflect the purity of Euclidean geometry and their belief in perfect proportions is embodied in the golden mean.
We like Art-Maths because it is beautiful and fun. It gives students a way into Maths which is not about wrong or right, but about discovery. In Art-Maths the shape of Maths is explored rather than the focus being on a singular solution. Our philosophy is to make Maths more attractive to young minds.
We offer great workshops to allow schools to integrate Art-Maths into the Curriculum. Under development is a library of best practice.
