Mathematical concepts are all around us Ñ in nature, architecture, art, biology, computer science and in our everyday lives. Did you know that natural processes, such as how bees swarm, have been used as a model for computer algorithms, or that boomerangs work using similar aerodynamic concepts as aircraft? Explore how number patterns, symmetry, algebra, geometry and other maths concepts have been applied by First Australians for millennia.

About Deadly Science:

Deadly Science, founded by Corey Tutt, addresses the lack of STEM resources in regional and remote schools in Australia. Fuelled by Corey's passion for STEM and his experience of limited opportunities for Aboriginal people in this field, Deadly Science provides resources and learning experiences to bridge this gap. Corey's initiative began with personal efforts to support schools, leading to the establishment of Deadly Science in 2018. Since then, it has evolved into Australia's leading Indigenous STEM charity, impacting over 800 schools and community organizations nationwide.

Isabella D. ★★★★★

My kid actually gasped when we saw the Fibonacci sequence in the sunflower seed photos—it finally clicked. The way it ties architecture and art into pure math is genius for curious minds.

Aurora P. ★★★★★

The way it connects bee swarming to math blew my mind—my daughter keeps pointing out patterns everywhere now. The real-world examples in the computer science section were surprisingly engaging for a 9-year-old.

Avery B. ★★★★☆

We’re only a few chapters in, but the way it ties bee swarming to math has my third-grader asking questions at dinner. The illustrations are clear enough that she can follow the patterns without me explaining everything. Would’ve liked a few more hands-on activity suggestions, but it’s a solid pick
