It also allowed the young mathematicians to explore a different way of counting dimensions. The pupils created the shape in different ways and investigated its properties, and the session provided a chance to see how simple rules can lead to amazing outcomes. Self-similar shapes are repeated in different sizes in a never-ending feedback loop, creating a fractal. Sierpiński triangles are made up of multiple triangles inside of one triangle. These are mathematical shapes which appears in surprising places, and during Amy’s Maths Masterclass, the pupils learnt about Sierpiński’s triangle.
Saturday’s final Maths Masterclass was presented by Amy Hooker, the Secondary School Masterclass Lead from the Royal Institution in London and focused on Sierpiński Triangles.

The 45 youngsters were drawn from S2 classes at 11 schools across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and they received an insight into how mathematics can be applied and used beyond the classroom. The series of workshops, organised by STEM charity TechFest in partnership with The Royal Institution (RI), aimed to inspire the next generation of problem solvers. School pupils from across the north-east have undertaken lessons which used YouTube stars, tennis sensation Andy Murray and The Simpsons to help them complete their Maths Masterclass series.
