Maths/puzzle clubs and "puzzle of the week" competitions.
Mathematics Masterclasses.
Revision events and study camps for Higher and Advanced Higher pupils.
Whole-school maths "roadshow" events.
Cross-curricular projects with a substantial mathematical element, such as mapping and building a scale model of the school.
Applications are welcome from anyone supporting primary or secondary school learning.
