The Holiday Maths Challenge has been developed in partnership with the Scottish Mathematical Council. It is designed for primary 6 pupils and their families.

The challenge is available through the Making Maths Count blog.

The Scottish Education Awards recognise early learning and childcare settings and schools that have developed a vibrant and progressive culture and climate of continuous innovation in relation to numeracy.
The culture and ethos should promote respect, ambition and achievement in numeracy while improving outcomes for all learners in ways which eliminate inequity.
Nominations should provide detail about all the activities, programmes and creative approaches that the school or centre has undertaken.
– Ethos and life of the school as a community
– Curriculum areas and subjects
– Interdisciplinary learning
– Opportunities for personal achievement
Nominations close at 12 noon on Wednesday 14 February 2018
