Multicolour Maths is a visual method of learning mathematics invented by British artist Brook Tate.
After a foot injury on a small island in India, a very vivid dream and a few ad-hoc workshops with travellers from around the world, Brook tripped and stumbled into the world of mathematics and the Multicolour Maths method was born.
The method, along with his first book Multicolour Maths on Munroe Island has been presented at the British Society of Research into Maths Education to much enthusiasm and excitement. He, along with other educators, believes this method could be a breakthrough in the world of education, bridging the gap between the world of art, design and mathematics.
About
Alex, an entrepreneur and mum to 3 children, deals with the business side of things including operations and strategy. Alex too struggled with maths and was captivated by Brook's Multicolour Maths method and the huge potential it has to make a tangible difference in the lives of children, particularly children with SEND.
Alex's career journey began in the dynamic world of media at MTV and EMI, before taking a creative leap to launch an Italian street food business (she's half Italian!) which she sold just before having children. She now runs a charity, The Together Space, whose mission is to tackle social segregation for children, families and young people with disabilities by providing mixed ability opportunities to exercise, socialise, relax and play together. She can't wait to share Brook's amazing invention of Multicolour Maths with the world having already seen the sparks, learning and beauty it's created with her own children.
