Presenter: Dr Amie Albrecht, Senior Lecturer, UniSASET is a game that is more than just fun to play. Each card shows a design with four attributes. A SET is a group of three cards where each attribute is either the same or different across all cards. Along with encouraging logical and spatial reasoning skills, SET inspires many mathematical questions from players of all levels — from primary students to research mathematicians. Mathematical ideas in SET include counting and combinatorics, probability, geometry, modular arithmetic, vectors, and linear algebra.
In this workshop we’ll experience the mathematical thinking needed when exploring the game. We'll uncover just a few of the mathematical ideas in SET, which are adaptable to a range of year levels, and hopefully pique your interest for further exploration. No previous experience with SET is necessary.
