Children can be surprised by phenomena, can observe without prejudice, and have an inexhaustible desire to question and to know. These are the basic characteristics of almost every normal child. If we add to these the ability to use scientific process skills in harmony with their senses through education and to find a way of knowing (doing science) with the desire to know (scientific curiosity), the work becomes even more exciting. “A scientific experiment is an experiment that is contrary to common experience,” says Gaston Bachelard. Recognising the problem requires moving away from common perception, and solving the problem requires moving away from common experience. This lies in creating environments where our mental and skilful equipment and abilities will be tested. Within the scope of this workshop, a model for a scientific understanding of colours and their relationship with mathematics is presented through a series of experiments that can be carried out from pre-school to university level. The concepts of colour, science and mathematics were discussed together in the workshop conducted by our Head of Department Prof. Dr. Kemal YÜRÜMEZOĞLU in Ankara on 16 MARCH 2024 at Zirve 3.14 Mathematics Education Summit.
