For Maths Week Scotland 2026, we focused on Money Matters, with lots of different activities linked to money.

Maths Challenges – We really enjoyed taking part in the Sumdog Maths Week Contest. We were delighted to end the week as the top class in the school!

Sound School Shop – P4/5 and P5 set up the Sound School Shop in the open area, where we worked with budgets, calculated costs, and made decisions about what we could afford.

We created money challenge cards for the shop. These encouraged pupils to think about change, totals, and spending choices. We all loved playing in the shop.

Money Matters Board Game

Another exciting part of the week was designing and making a Money Matters board game. Pupils worked creatively to design and make a fun game with cards which included good and poor money choices. This activity combined maths with teamwork, design, and communication, allowing pupils to demonstrate both their understanding and creativity.

The finished games showed fantastic imagination, and it was lovely to see pupils so proud of their work and keen to play each other’s games.

Meta skills -collaborating, creativity, leading, sense making.
