12 of 12, May 2012

Today was a Saturday, normally a day to seek excitement, adventure and really wild things*.

So I did.

I was in Launceston for day 2 of the annual conference of the Mathematical Association of Tasmania, where I presented a session for teachers on “Fermi problems” and getting students to engage and work with large numbers and mathematical modelling.** I also attended presentations on a variety of maths topics, before doing the 200km drive back to Hobart (where I got one of my passengers to take over photography duties for 12 of 12, since I was the designated driver but I still wanted to capture some photos of the light and rain effects as we sped homewards down through the Midlands).

And then I went to see what my Scouts were up to (poor freezing souls).

You know what to do: click here for the collection with commentary.

** What do you mean, you don’t think this is “excitement, adventure and really wild things”? You need to get out more!
