University of Stirling Campus1st Jan-31st DecAll dayFree
Take a self-led tour around Stirling University campus and discover how there is mathematics in architecture, art and nature. The Maths Trail includes an activity sheet with some puzzles aimed at age 8-12, so would make a nice family activity, but the walk itself is suitable for all ages.
If you are arriving by car, there is a small parking spot right by the trail, and a larger car park a little further outside the Willow Court halls of residence.
You can download the trail below, which includes the trail itself, the activity sheet, and a map. If you have a smart phone, you can open a copy of the map in the Google Maps.
It's Spring in Edinburgh means, which means the return of the Edinburgh Science Festival (30 March - 14 April)! This years theme is Shaping the Future, and we've browsed through the programme to pick out some of our maths highlights for you.
To mark World Meteorological Day (23 March), we are delighted to share a guest post from Professor Sylvia Knight, Head of Education at the Royal Meteorological Society, to introduce their new Climate Change Concept tool and show how teachers can use it to support maths in the curriculum.
