Why are clocks weird? Why were the Romans rubbish at maths? And what shapes are best to juggle with? Join House Of Maths to find out the answers in a fun-packed show that’s cunning, clever and crazy. Watch out at the front: you may get a little bit wet!
This session is designed for children aged 7-9 - although anyone with curiousity is very welcome.
