Emma Tomkinson is a registered high school mathematics teacher and former maths textbook writer. She is passionate about sharing her love of maths with children and adults alike. She is not very good at arithmetic, but really good at seeing the maths in our world and how joyous that can be. Her sons in Yr 1 and Yr 3 think that maths is cool and hilarious. They ask questions like, “If my brother has a 50% chance of lying when he says something, what’s the chance that the next 100 things he says are lies?” [Use the comment box below to send in the answer.]
