Kalman Awards - apply now!
The Margaret and John Kalman CharitableTrust is again generously supporting the achievements of secondary Mathematics and Statistics teachers in the Auckland region. John Kalman was a professor of Mathematics at the University of Auckland from 1964 to 1993, and a leading promoter of Mathematics in New Zealand.
The inaugural winners were Subash Chandar K, Ormiston College and Mala Nataraj, Selwyn College. They each received a prize of $5000 from the Margaret and John Kalman Trust. In addition they spent a day at the Department with 30 of their students.
Students made Enigma machines with Pringles tubes and conjectured and generalised about “stacks of cans”. Tanya Evans spoke about employment and careers for those with a Mathematics degree and students were intrigued to view and learn about a Gomboc. One student made a ‘vlog’ about her experience that featured interviews with members of the Department and showcasing her Enigma machine and the Gomboc. They also visited the Unleashed Space in the Department of Engineering. This space includes Maker Space which houses the latest 3-D printers, laser cutters and much more. The day concluded with a Maths Trail around Albert Park
