With Maths Week Scotland 2024 behind us, we can now look back at the fantastic data-themed activities that we delivered in partnership with Maths Week.
Maths Week Scotland is a week of events and activities dedicated to the maths that is all around us. The 2024 edition took place Monday 23 September – Sunday 29 September around the theme “Maths Tales”, but other special events are scheduled throughout the year.
While most of the events are now behind us, upper primary/lower secondary students can still take part in our fantastic Escape Room Live Lesson – Find the Secret Lair (7th November 11am-12pm, online): book your space now.
We are thrilled to announce the outstanding success of this year’s Maths Week, with hundreds of schools and thousands of learners joining us to learn more about data! A total of around 13500 learners attended across all the events at Maths Week.
On the 1st October, we ran a live session of our ‘Locked in the DATA Base’ Escape Room. 135 classes attended online and followed the instructions of Agent K (Kate Farrell) and Agent J (Jasmeen Kanwal) to escape the D.A.T.A. base. By solving data-themed puzzles, the agents, meaning the learners who joined us, and their T.E.A.C.H.E.R.S. were able to retrieve a code that unlocked the base.
We were thrilled to host around 3000 learners from within the Edinburgh city region and across Scotland, including Falkirk, St Andrews, Glasgow, Dundee, Kelso, and the Isle of Lewis.
We are looking forward to seeing many other Agents at our second Escape Room Live Lesson – Find the Secret Lair on the 7th November! Book your space now.
