Maths Week for Libraries and Museums

Maths Week Scotland works with a range of organisations, including libraries and museums, to enable people of all ages and backgrounds to engage with numeracy and mathematics. It's really easy to get involved, you don't need big resources!

There are many ways to tweak things you already do, to give them a maths twist. We also have free resources on our website which you are welcome to download and use in your venues, such as our Maths Trail guide and templates, Maths Week Bookbug session plan, Maths Week LEGO Challenge Cards, and the craft tutorials and printable puzzle sheets in our 'Family Activities' section.
