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.
Find our Maths Week tips for libraries and museums, and links to some of our most relevant resources, via the links below.
Finn Finity's Lego Challenge Cards can be used at school, at home or in community settings for example museums, libraries or community groups who run Lego clubs. Download your free set.
'Maths in Museums' Case Studies
Museums wanting to get further involved in Maths Week Scotland can also check out the case studies from our annual Maths in Museums training days, delivered in partnership with National Museums Scotland.
If you would like your library or museums to get involved with Maths Week Scotland, either in September or at another time of year, please feel free to reach out to us via email at mathsweekscot@nms.ac.uk - we are always happy to chat over ideas or answer any questions. And don't forget to submit your events, no matter how big or small, to our events calendar.

We've pulled together all our seasonal resources from the last three years, and thrown in a few new ones too, so that you can create your own Christmas Holiday Countdown depending on age, ability and preferences.
