A new Motivate maths enrichment session

Hi I've just added a new VC session to our conference programme for the summerterm: "With the right strategy I can always win ...", for 12-14 year-old students, 10.00-12.00, on 15 July. The cost is £85 for up to 40 students (more pro rata). In this enrichment session, we will analyse Nim-like games to see if we can work out (a) what makes you lose, and (b) how to avoid it. This is an opportunity to develop mathematical thinking by playing games between local and remote participants and working out what went right or went wrong with the strategy used. More information: http://motivate.maths.org/content/Nim We also have two other day conferences for secondary students: "Coding and Languages", for 13-15 year-old students, looking at the maths that underlies coding and which can be also applied to our study of language. More information: http://motivate.maths.org/content/coding-languages "Alien Visit", for 11-13 year-old students, using a story about a potential alien visit for a variety of problem-solving activities. This would be appropriate for lower ability sets, but we will accommodate all ability levels.
