This recording was made on location at Le Musée d'Histoire des Sciences (Museum of the History of Science), Geneva, Switzerland. The museum has some rather cool exhibits outside (in bright sunshine the day we were there), showing different sorts of sundials.
Teaching time is a really important topic in mathematics, both in terms of time of day and duration of events. There are neat connections to make between math and technology of measuring time, giving lots of material to the creative teacher.
