Other animals gather in swarms, flocks, or schools and move in complicated ways without any leader at all. In a school of fish,\u00a0each one is identical and they all follow the same simple rules. Yet they still manage to form tight bait balls and make sharp turns in unison. So a school of fish is more than just a group of fish; it is\u00a0<i>greater than the sum of its parts<\/i>. In this workshop,\u00a0we&#8217;ll investigate this deep mathematical idea by thinking about groups of animals.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, it may be fun to check out this video that illustrates some of the ideas we will be looking at:<\/p>\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Amazing Fish Form Giant Ball to Scare Predators | Blue Planet | BBC Earth\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/15B8qN9dre4?start=56&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<strong>WHAT IS GEMS:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Gateway to Exploring Mathematics program (GEMS) is a series of workshops that helps excite the interests and curiosity of young students in mathematics and science.\r\n\r\nGEMS meets once a month on a Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.\r\n\r\nGEMS is designed to reach 8th, 9th and 10th grade students who have an interest in mathematics and science.\r\n\r\nParticipants interact with excellent and award winning faculty, staff, students and alumni from each of the seven Claremont Colleges.\r\n\r\n<strong>FALL 2019 DATES:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nOctober 5, 2019\r\n\r\nNovember 2, 2019\r\n\r\nDecember 7, 2019\r\n\r\n<strong>REGISTRATION:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTo register for our next event on November 2nd, please click on the following link:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/6LQbpRWVdGDvc97Q9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/6LQbpRWVdGDvc97Q9<\/a>\r\n\r\n<strong>ANY QUESTIONS:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPlease contact our 2019-2020 GEMS coordinator, Josh Kiernan at joshua.kiernan@cgu.edu\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOPIC:\u00a0Working Together without a Leader Bees all work together by communicating and obeying the orders of the Queen.
