CHRISTMAS LECTURES 2019 Zone Report

The 2019 โ€‹Iโ€™m a Mathematician โ€‹CHRISTMAS LECTURES Zone was commissioned by The Royal Institution with support from Lloydโ€™s Register Foundation, UK Research and Innovation, KPMG, and Schlumberger.

The online event gave school students, the viewing public, and the LECTURES attendees the opportunity to continue the conversation about the Royal Institutionโ€™s CHRISTMAS LECTURES series,โ€œSecrets and lies: The hidden power of mathsโ€โ€‹, as well as the surrounding mathematical, scientific, societal, and ethical themes.

This Zone Report contains key activity data from the Zone. We learnt:

  • 81% of teachers used the activity in a Maths class. The project reached new teachers, students, and subjects.
  • activity levels have increased compared with previous CHRISTMAS LECTURES Zones.
  • discussions in the Zone were on topic. Students asked about Maths and the real world.
  • teacher feedback shows the activity broadening studentsโ€™ perceptions of maths and mathematicians.
