Collie Math Tales: Gem & Sheila
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.
Om Thursday 3 October, join collie dog Gem and owner Shelia for a walk around the farm to find out more about the maths involved in looking after sheep.
This session will cover MNU 2-01a, MNU 2-09a, MNU 2-09c and MNU 2-11b.
The full line up of sessions is as follows:
- Weds 25 Sept: Join collie dog Pip and Alison for a walk around the farm and woodland looking at the trees and the crops on the farm.
