A fascinating activity encouraging pupils to think about 'Fixed Points', things that stay the same when there is a change. For example, in the doubling function 0 is a fixed point as doubling keeps it the same.
These fixed points have surprising applications, including the amazing result that if you scrunch up one piece of paper and put it on top of a flat identical piece, at least one point is in the same place!
Pupils are guided along with a presentation with things for them to think about along the way.
Some of the language is GCSE level but the ideas are applicable for all ages.
