University of Edinburgh School of Mathematics Event
Three to four times a year the University of Edinburgh runs an event called the (in-person) "Edinburgh Maths Circle": a free drop-in session where children aged from 5 to 16 enjoy learning mathematics with NRICH problems and other hands-on mathematical activities.
During this half day workshop, teachers and educators will be given an introduction to what a Maths Circle is, advice on how to run one in their school/community, and what are the main issues to be aware of.
Participants will then have a chance to see a Maths Circle in action, have a look at how visitors engage with the activities, and talk to visitors.
All participants who attend the workshop will have the the opportunity to borrow some of the resources and run a Maths Circle in their classes and/or communities.
Free but booking required. Register via the link below.
We are delighted to once again be collaborating with Twinkl Scotland, who have produced a range of new free resources for this year's Wild Maths theme.
Early, First and Second Level have each received resources relating to Drummond Safari Park and to the topic of weather, linking to and informed by Curriculum for Excellence, which support teaching and learning maths.
Finn Finity and the Wild Maths Zoo Adventure is an interactive story that you can read together with your class or as a family. It incorporates maths puzzles and activities, that you solve as you read.
