Maths Week 2026: Maths Matters

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.

In advance of this year's 30 Days Wild, we caught up with Christine from Welly Walkers Childminding Family in Aberdeenshire, to have a chat about how they used our 30 Days Wild maths resources last year.

30 fun ideas to take your maths learning outside, available in English and Gaelic.
