To celebrate this year's Maths Week Scotland theme 'Beauty of Maths', the Scottish Mathematical Council have created a series of five videos entitled 'Looking & Listening for the Beauty in Maths', which focuses on the mathematics in Art and Music.
Topics covered include rhythm, pentatonic scales, tiling and tessellation, and the works of Piet Mondrian.
Each video is accompanied by a brief description, any web-links referred to in the video and a list of key vocabulary to support planning and preparation. The resources are most suitable for upper primary/ early secondary school.
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.
