Before we disappear for a break over the Christmas and New Year holidays, we wanted to say a massive thank you for the phenomenal response we've had to our holiday countdown. We have loved hearing from families and schools joining in, and have rounded up some of the pictures that have been shared with us.

P567 have really enjoyed the @mathsweekscot Christmas activities. The tessellated Christmas trees were a big hit and their geometric designs were used to create Christmas cards for residents at Spiers Nursing Home to spread some Christmas Cheer. 🎅🏼🎄#community@NAC_PLApic.twitter.com/2klu1i6c1C
If you want to do any of the activities over the school holidays, you can find them all on our Christmas Holiday Countdown page. And please keep sharing your photos too, and we'll update this post - you can tag us on Facebook or Twitter.
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.
