TY Juggling Workshops Feedback

Sinead Bird - Naas CBS

"Seán’s Maths & Juggling workshop was an excellent opportunity for our TY students to engage with maths in a hands on fashion where students were active in their learning in a very fun way. All students complimented the workshop and discussed how fun it was. An excellent opportunity for TYs to engage with maths in a well thought out fun and reflective way.

Seán worked with our 1st and 2nd years during Maths Week by giving talk on How to Make Friends and Influence People using Maths. This was a fun, informative and thought provoking workshop for students to think about maths in everyday life in various different forms. The talk required students to get hands on, discuss ideas, and actively engage in the material. Seán has a great way with linking maths to everyday concepts in a fun and engaging way. An excellent addition to our Maths Week program." - Stephen Begley, Maths Coordinator @ Dundalk Grammar School

"The presentation you gave us Seán was excellent, it really was. The children really enjoyed it and we got loads of learning out of it."- Ballinamore CS, Leitrim

"The reflective piece at the end made the students sit back and consider the layers involved in the learning process."- St Paul's CBS, Smithfield, Dublin

"I honestly think everything went really well and couldn’t of went better. Sean is so nice and makes everyone have a bit of a laugh" - Pres Clonmel, Tipperary

"All 24 engaged in the lesson throughout"

"The links to numeracy, Sean's engagement with the students and step by step approach were fantastic "

"I really liked the juggling part. After the workshop, I spent days trying to learn how to improve my juggling." 

"The students enjoyed using a hands on approach to visualise quadratic functions. The workshop gave students an opportunity to use a unique approach to maths which was very enjoyable to a typical maths lesson. Finally students got to explore and express their creative side using mathematical language in their poems."
