Letter from Caitlin of Greenock. ... we were expecting an old man who would go on about times tables and boring maths... ...after five minutes there was water in my eyes from laughing so much... E-mail to "Pongo McWhiffy" of the Murderous Maths books Hello Pongo, I think you are cool and I love the pearson who wrote the books that you where in because he came to Brough primary school today and he made me cry with laughter. Love Annabelle xxxx

FESTIVALS

For festivals I'll usually do a single maths and/or author session. However if two different maths sessions are required, these can be themed as: Murderous Maths Numbers and Murderous Maths Magic.

CONFERENCES - TEACHER DAYS

I usually do a maths talk (often as the keynote speaker) which can be anything from 20-90 mins. I can also do one or more separate Maths Make sessions for up to about 30 people. Each person will need scissors, a pencil, a glue stick and a copy of this sheet. Time permitting, we can make flexagons, a puzzle and a magic square. I also have other sheets to make my dice puzzle and predictor cards trick.

PLANNING A DAY
Before I agree to an engagement, I need a rough idea of how you hope to timetable the day, in particular what time you need me to arrive. Please bear these things in mind:

1. Unless I'm doing a multi-day trip and staying overnight, I will be travelling from York on the day.
2. If you're a long way from York and only want a single session or show, afternoon or early evening is the best time to minimise costs.
3. If I'm doing more than one session I do not need overlong breaks between sessions.
4. I'm always delighted to sign my books. If you are organising sales, please ask me for supplier details.

FEES... depend on where you are and what you want. Please use the link in the next paragraph to contact me, telling me where you are and giving me an idea of what you'd like me to do. If you are in a position to help promote my books (e.g. you're having a science or literature festival) then it may be possible to help with expenses.
