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.
On Tuesday 1 October, join Tweed the Border Collie and owner Fran for a walk to meet the hens on the farm.
This session will cover MNU 0-01a/MNU 1-01a, MNU 0-02a/MNU 1-02a, MNU 0-11a, MNU 0-20b/MNU 1-20.
