Working in mixed ability adult groups
- Enable experts to act as tutors to novices and as presenters
- Utilise members areas of interest e.g. in music, astronomy, topology
- Use recognisable contexts e.g. taxes for percentages
- Partition sessions into shorter varied slots
- Include history of mathematics to add a human dimension
- Look at various uses of mathematics e.g. IMA Mathematics Matters
- Ask questions with several possible answers e.g. describe a Platonic solid
- Encourage all to share their own solutions
- Think low threshold high ceiling problems e.g. NRICH
- Include talks by experienced communicators e.g. YouTube, LMS, Gresham
- Use puzzles to stimulate interest in developing new mathematical topics
- For part of some sessions split the group in different ways
