BHS – Maths Week Scotland 2017

Maths Week Scotland

Welcome to Maths Week Scotland, a brand new initiative to help everyone in our nation see maths more positively.  Our aim is for everyone to experience the benefits, joy and beauty of maths in exciting new ways.

Mindset

To encourage all students to think of maths as an interesting and brilliant subject, we have been watching some short maths videos:

  1. Video 1
  2. Video 2
Junior School

This week our junior school have been enjoying some problem-solving tasks in Maths. If you fancy having a go, try calculating 62 x 33 using Chinese Multiplication (watch the first 30secs of the video only).

In addition all S1 & S2 students have been given SUMDOG logins to allow them to compete in the Sumdog – Maths Week Contest.

Senior School

Senior students have also been working on problem-solving skills involving NRich tasks like A Square of Numbers. They have also been enjoying some very competitive games of Kahoot.
