A weekly TV show by Animath to practice mathematics

On Sunday 24th of May 2020, the first TV show organised by Animath in cooperation with Télé-Ecole, a private Senegalese educational channel, was broadcasted in Dakar. This show is called “Déchiffrer les codes secrets” (Break secret codes), and it’s the first of a series of shows about mathematics aired every Sunday at 6 p.m.

The show is prepared and hosted by a team of six “animatheurs”, including four based in Grenoble and Caen (France), and one in Dakar (Senegal). It’s designed for 15-18 years old high school students to efficiently practice mathematics through the resolution of unexpected concrete problems.
