If you are reading this booklet then hopefully your university department is the proud owner of a Small Maths Outreach Kit. Inside you will find a treasure trove of toys, games and puzzles, all of which have a mathematical basis or require the use of logic and spatial reasoning to solve a particular puzzle. This Small Maths Outreach Kit was developed by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) as part of the National HE STEM Programme. It was created following feedback from the HEI maths community who voiced it was becoming more common for them to be asked to do something ‘hands on’ when doing outreach work with schools, particularly when they have a stall at an outreach event, careers fair, science fair or exhibition. Two kits have been developed: this small briefcase sized kit which contains a number of small hands on activities, as well as a Maths Large Outreach Kit consisting of seven large hands on activities (see .uk). Features of the kit: • A tutorial DVD showing the kit contents in action. • Items are designed to be used on a stand where people might visit for five minutes or so, rather than as part of a longer outreach workshop - although feel free to use them in your maths outreach workshops. • The majority have a mathematical basis, ranging from easy to extremely complicated. Inside this information guide you will find short information sheets explaining some of the maths in a simplified way, with the hope that similar ideas might help inform discussions with pupils. • All the items are relatively inexpens
