In this episode the All Change team transform a maths room at Woodway Park Secondary School, Coventry The maths classroom is used to teach students aged from 7 to 11 and the challenge for Architect Marco da Cruz's design was to enable the space to be flexible enough to teach across all age groups. This is achieved by using colour coding to give the department a stronger identity inspired by mathematical models of curves and hyperbolic functions.
