Show students real-life applications of maths. Connect your students with people using maths in their work through I'm a Mathematician, Get me out of here!
Throughout the school year, including Maths Week Scotland, book a 30-minute, text-based, online Chat. Students ask the questions that interest them to people whose role uses maths. They'll receive personalised and authentic responses in real-time. They're supported to see maths as personally relevant and something 'for them'.
There is no cost to taking part for state-maintained schools.
You don’t need to be a scientist to take part in real research. Citizen science projects welcome people of all ages to help by counting, observing, measuring, and recording what they see around them. Here are a few inspiring ways you can get involved this year.
We love science festivals here at Maths Week Scotland, as there's always lots of maths involved! To help you keep up to date with all the science festivals happening in Scotland this year, we've made a list of the ones we know about and we'll update the list throughout the year.
