We love baking here at Maths Week Scotland, not least because there are a multitude of maths and numeracy skills involved in baking - from weighing, measuring and counting, to fractions, conversions, telling the time and more…
Maths Week Scotland 2025 will take place 22 September - 28 September and the theme will be Wild Maths, looking at how Maths is used to tell stories. Bringing nature and numbers together, Wild Maths will explore plants and wildlife, weather and natural forces, astronomy, outdoor learning, and so much more!
