Museum of Rural Life Family Maths Trail

Come along to the National Museum of Rural Life in East Kilbride and take part in our Family Maths Trail. Aimed at families with pre-school children and children in lower primary school.
Spot things to count in the museum, create shapes outdoors, then go on a teapot hunt in the farmhouse, counting sheep along the way as you make your way up to the farm.
You can either print off a copy of the trail before your visit, or download it to your phone.
The trail is included in general admission to the museum. Admission prices can be found on the museum's website.
