Our children showed great interest in building the Three Bears’ house, which led to a brilliant idea – we decided to rebuild our shelter and turn it into a Numeracy Den! 🧱🐻 A wonderful example of child-led learning and teamwork in action. #MathsWeekScot #LearningThroughPlay

Hiding from winter, hoping for daisies
by Cynthia from St Mary’s Music School

(1)  Five,

(1)  Six,

(2)  Seven,

(3)  Eight, nine, ten.

(5)  I’ll count the daisies 

(8)  Before summer turns to autumn

(13) Before the sky turns into a dusty 
     shade of grey
(21) Before the lakes form an icy shield,
     guarding the depth of the lake from
     all its secrets. 
(34) Before daylights duration increasingly
     starts to grow dimmer, while the cold,
     snowy and eerie nights are feeling
     unearthly and endless. 
(55) Soon we will meet winter’s chilly 
     embrace. I will watch the icicles form
     under the rising sun, and the birds fly
     back and forth as the sun sets. Yet I
     still sit here and wish for the daisies
     to appear once again. There is hope.

The Magic of Maths
by Donald from Stirling

(1)  Life

(1)  Is

(2)  Superb

(3)  When Maths is

(5)  Part of the Magic! 

(8)  The Wonders of the universe

(13) Can start to be explored and
     understood with numbers

(21) Astronomy, Time, Nature, the whole
     world around us, everything! comes 
     to life with Maths 
(34) Unknown Planets orbiting distant
     suns, movements in our own solar
     system, the moon, the tides, the
     rhythm of our own lives. All down 
     to Maths.
(55) Our Mountains, Lochs, Valleys, Seas,
     created by ice-age forces, seemingly
     at ease. Maths explains events from
     our past, bringing logic and sense as
     we explore the facts. Dive into
     numbers, make it all fun - Maths is
     your number one!
(89) Wing span of an eagle, speed of a
     hare. A ptarmigans plumage on the
     mountains, the temperature up there.
     The patterns of nature, plants and
     leaves, the lifespan, the carbon
     capture of trees. The height of Ben
     Nevis, the depth of Loch Ness, the
     two hundred and eighty-two munros,
     the thirty-thousand lochs, more or
     less! Let the Magic of Maths and
     Nature light up your life!
