Science Ceilidh
How can we use music and dance to explore mathematical concepts? We teamed up with Science Ceilidh to find out.
Get your dancing shoes on and explore symmetry and data collection through ceilidh dance. These activities can be done with a whole class, small groups or objects on a tabletop.
Lewis and Caity from Science Ceilidh show us how it is done.
