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.
In January, we launched a competition and invited children from across Scotland to design a mascot for us. We are delighted to announce the winners, and to introduce you to our new 'Mathscot'!
Maths Week Scotland needs a mascot - or as we like to call it, Mathscot - so we are inviting YOU to help us design one, which will feature prominently in this year's 'Maths Tales' theme.
We have loved hearing from families and schools joining in with our Countdown to the Christmas Holidays, and have rounded up some of the pictures that have been shared with us.
