➗In the #CircleZone, students have been getting to know the mathematicians and learning about how they use maths in their jobs➗

Take a look below to see how Emma uses maths in conservation to see how much animals eat! 👇

@DrRishworth @scienceirel @mathsweek Sorry to hear that your little one is burnt out...!

We've replied to your email 😊

[I'm a Mathematician Team @imamaths_team]

Great to see the range of topics discussed in the Circle zone last month! ➗✨

@scienceirel

[Maja Popović ( @[email protected] ) @amelija16mp]

word* frequencies in "I'm a mathematician" @imamaths_team live chats last month -- obviously, I was very active

*words except 'maths' and derivatives

@amelija16mp Great to see your involvement have such an impact! ✨

It's the last day of the Circle Zone! Over the past 4 weeks students have been voting for a winner. Huge congratulations are in order for Daniel! 🎆🥳🎊 #IASUK

We're hugely grateful to the Zone's funders @scienceirel !

It's the final day of the #CircleZone. It's been a great Zone with Chats full of mathematicians ! Thanks to our funders @scienceirel !
Here's some of our favourite moments!

[I'm a Mathematician Team @imamaths_team]

#IAMaths is built around the philosophy of science capital, to help students see STEM subjects as 'for them'

Take a look below at a Chat today where students were connecting with mathematicians, learning about their roles in STEM and lives outside it 👇
#MathsWeek @scienceirel

[I'm a Mathematician Team @imamaths_team]

➗In the #CircleZone, students have been getting to know the STEM professionals and how they use maths in their jobs➗

Like how Claire uses maths to understand rain and wind effects the size of waves ! 🌊

How is maths and music related?🎶

Mathematicians Jennifer and Maja explain the relationship in a #CircleZone Chat this morning ✨

➗It's #MathsWeek !➕

In the Circle zone, students are connecting with mathematicians in a diversity of careers and understanding how their learning can be relevant outside the classroom.

Take a look to see how Norma uses maths in her everyday life👇

It's time to announce the weekly winner in the Circle Zone! The number 1 mathematician this week is... Maja Popovic! Well done! 🥳🎊 @mathsweek #IASIE

[I'm a Mathematician Team @imamaths_team]

As we come to the end of #CodeWeek, we take a look back at some of the great Chats we've had in the Circle Zone➕

Such as when students asked mathematician Francisco how he uses maths to research AI for robotic manipulation !🤖

➕Happy #AdaLovelaceDay!➗
Today we celebrate all the female mathematicians who take part in our projects

Like Suzy, who uses maths to make ancestral trees of humans from their DNA to estimate historic population sizes thousands of years ago!

In the #CircleZone, students have learning about different topics in maths

Take a look below at some great explanations by our mathematicians👇

[John Butler @jslbutler]

I was asked in @imamaths_team “When/why did I start liking maths?”
A: When I was in Junior Infants if we finished our work quickly we could play with ribbons and I really liked the ribbons. The only thing I was quick at was maths, so ribbons are why I like maths and now teach it

Like Maja who is bilingual and uses maths to process languages !

@mathsweek @CodeWeekEU @scienceirel

[John Butler @jslbutler]

I really enjoy doing @imamaths_team as the questions vary from: Q. What is your favourite colour?
A. Maybe blue
Q. How did you use geometry?
A. Programming a giant robotic arm to fly people around a room
Q. How did you learn about neuroscience?
A. Working with great researchers

Its #CodingWeek !

Students have been chatting with the mathematicians in the #CircleZone today➕

Read below how Harold uses coding to develop simulation tools for head trauma👇
