Maths Week Scotland is taking place 28 September - 4 October 2020. It is an opportunity to celebrate the maths all around including our outdoor environment.

Join Juliet Robertson for a fun interactive webinar where we explore what hyenas, leopards and butterflies have in common when it comes to enjoying maths outside.

We will look at:

• Ways of setting up any outdoor space for maths explorations,
• How local communities can be explored through maths trails
• Lots of games and activities to keep people of all ages using maths skills and strategies in a play-based context outside.

It will be a-maze-ing!

This session is suitable for anyone working with groups of early years or primary school children, or those looking to use outdoor spaces to explore maths. This includes community groups, early years centres and informal learning organisations.

This is a closed session and you will be emailed a link in advance of the event to the email address provided.

Note this is open to people with outdoor spaces or running sessions in Scotland.

The Maths Week Scotland Small Grants Fund is available for anyone carrying out activities for Maths Week Scotland or adapting outdoor spaces in Scotland. Find full information here
