Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The article describes activities that can be used outside the classroom in a mathematics lesson, in which they incorporate the concept of the game, catch me if you can. It explains how the game is played. It notes that teaching mathematical concepts outside the classroom engages and reinforces learning. It relates that French mathematician Pierre Bouguer was the first mathematician to work on the idea of pursuit analysis in 1732.
