Message from Team Maths April
2020……..

             Now meet the Maths
             Department…….

Mrs Lewis

 • Favourite Number: 13 - Some people believe it is unlucky
   and so I like to be different. My house number growing up
   was number 13 and I was fascinated when I found out that
   on new housing estates they now miss out number 13 and
   go straight from 11 to 15!

 • Info about myself: Before becoming a teacher I was in the
   Armed Forces and before that I spent a year living in China
   teaching English.

                              Mr Turley

  • My favourite number is ….33 - I'm not actually sure why it
     is my favourite number but to make it more interesting I'll
                        say that it is because the number 33 is:

   • Prizes for anyone that's able to work out my Date of Birth
                                       using that information...
   • I once worked as a Youth Football ("Soccer") Coach in Los
                                         Angeles for 3 months

Mrs Stanyer
Favourite Number: 1.618

This number is also known as the
Golden Number or Golden Ratio.

This ratio appears in the Human Body, Beauty, Design of Life,
Human Face, Population Growth, Health, Human Hand &
Foot, DNA, Plants, Animal , Body Temperatures, Human
Heartbeat, Development, Human Teeth & thousands of
places. The Taj Mahal, The Pyramids, and many other
architectures were designed with this GOLDEN Ratio 1.618.
Modern constructions like the United Nations building in
New York and the world’s tallest free standing Structure are
constructed using this GOLDEN RATIO
Interesting Fact:
I spent some of lockdown working on the couch to 5k
initiative

                                       Ms Crerar

 My favourite number is '8' because it appears in my favourite
 'Maths' joke 'what did the zero say to the eight?'......
 In my spare time I like cycling and painting (but not at the same
 time!).

Mr
                                    Sharples

• My favourite number is 7 , both my boys wear this number
  for their football teams ( and Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez
  wore it!!!)
• I recently received a cricket trophy from the ex England
  Captain Michael Vaughan.

       Mrs
       Yevseyev

   My favourite number is 12 because it’s the date of my
   birthday.

   I lived in Russia for four years and speak Russian
   fluently – and French too!

Mrs Webster
My favourite number is 10. I like
numbers that end in 5 or 0 and
my buoyancy aid number for
canoe polo is 10. I love water
sports in particular, rowing,
canoeing and dragon boat racing
The reason for the picture is I’m
mad about Tudor history.

                            Mr Innes
                         Favourite Number: Number 11 a House
                         number of when I was a child and shirt
                         number in school football team.
                         Fun Fact: It is quite possible I taught
                         your Mum or Dad (he has been here
                         forever!)

   Mrs Bradley

 Favourite Number: Number 2
 because it’s the only even prime
 number and has lots of different
 uses.
 Mrs Bradley is the most popular
 member of the department and
 looks after the students really
 well.
