Beauty of Maths Exhibition

Pupils from Corstorphine Primary School created mathematical artworks throughout the weeks leading up to Maths Week Scotland. They gained inspiration from a visit to the National Galleries of Scotland using the Galleries' new resource before getting creative back at school. They made a video tour of their art exhibition before having a visit from Shirley-Anne Somerville, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills.

Entries from the Capturing Corstorphine photography competition, where families and children from across the school working creatively together to capture the 'Beauty of Maths', were also part of the art exhibition display.
