A Virtual Maths Circle is an event via Zoom for 7-14 year olds and their families.
During the virtual event, participants can join different "Breakout Rooms". In each breakout room a Maths Circle host will explain how to solve two of the puzzles that we will send out. Participants will be able to listen to the host, discuss ways to think about the problem, ask questions and then move to a different breakout room if they want to try other problems.
To facilitate interaction and better tailor the activities, the October 2024 Virtual Maths Circle will consist of two online slots:
- First slot: 10:00 am - 11:00 am on 5 October, for ages 7-11
- Second slot: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm on 5 October, for ages 11-14
You are welcome to attend either of the slots, or both, according to your preference and the age of the children.
To celebrate Book Week Scotland, we are delighted to announce the finalists and winners of our Maths Tales story-writing competition, run in partnership with Read Write Count with The First Minister.
We have enjoyed seeing what everyone got up to for Maths Week Scotland this year, in particular the different ways everyone was inspired by this year's theme of 'Maths Tales'. We've picked out a few highlights to share.
