For Maths Week Scotland 2026, we focused on Money Matters, with lots of different activities linked to money. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Maths Challenges – <\/strong>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! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sound School Shop – <\/strong>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. <\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Money Matters Board Game<\/strong><\/p>\n

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. <\/strong><\/p>\n

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. <\/strong><\/p>\n
