We love science festivals here at Maths Week Scotland, as there's always lots of maths involved! To help you keep up to date with all the science festivals happening in Scotland this year, we've made a list of the ones we know about and we'll update the list throughout the year.
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.
For Scottish Museums Day (3 October) we’ve rounded up some of our favourite activities from museums from across the country, from this year's Maths Week Scotland.
New for this year - to say thank you for taking part in Maths Week Scotland, we will be picking one school or ELC setting from our map at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher to spend on maths goodies for your class.
We end the week on a high note, as the winning drawing from our competition earlier this year is brought to life and we reveal our final Finn Finity mathscot!
We've rounded up this year's Maths Week Scotland events for schools in a handy, day-by-day overview. The programme is a mix of mix of both online and in-person events.
We took our 'Maths Tales' to the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Read all about the creative maths inspired poems written by students at the Teen Takeover Day.
We have another fun maths game to share with you today. Sim is a pen & paper game for two players. It's named after cryptographer and mathematician Gustavus Simmons, who first introduced the game in 1969.
Today we have a really simple game to share with you, that can be played at home, on the go, or in the classroom. The game encourages multiplication and addition skills, and also requires some strategic thinking and considering the probability of what numbers you are going to roll.
We love a good dice game! If you travel with some dice in your pocket, you'll never be bored, there's so much you can do with them. Today's game Threes Away requires five dice - you'll also need to think strategically, and it encourages number recognition too.
With the summer holidays looming, we've put together a selection of seasonal summer puzzles covering a range of different maths skills including counting, pattern recognition, logical thinking and code breaking. They're perfect for some end of term fun at school or as a boredom buster during the holidays.
Glasgow Science Festival kicks off tomorrow (6 - 16 June 2024), with the theme "Glasgow's Transforming". We've had a browse through the programme, and picked out some of our favourite events.
