Collie Dog Maths Tales for Schools

Online 25th Sep-3rd Oct 11.00am-11.30am Free

Our online 'Collie Dog Maths Tales' sessions are being delivered as part of Maths Week.

In each session, we will join a different collie dog and go for a walk around the farm looking at different maths (and science and technology) along the way.

Each ‘Collie Math Tale’ session will look at real maths problems on the farm and will come with a downloadable information to support the online session.

The full line up of sessions is as follows:

  • Wednesday 25 September (for Early& First Level): Join collie dog Pip and Alison for a walk around the farm and woodland looking at the trees and the crops on the farm
  • Thursday 26 September (for Second Level): Join collie dog Sweep and owner Katherine for a walk around a farm as the lambs are prepared for market day
  • Tuesday 1 October (for Early & First Level): Join Tweed the Border Collie and owner Fran for a walk to meet the hens on the farm
