Maths - Wrap around care/Out of school activities

Maths activities videos for out-of-school hubs and wrap-around care (years 1 to 12).

Activities for 10 to 13 year-olds

There are lots of activities you can do with children that explore maths in the real world. Helping your child see the maths in things they are doing anyway helps them understand that maths is not just a school subject. It is useful outside of the classroom too.

Outdoor maths games and activities

To celebrate Maths Week Scotland 2020, a pack of 25 maths games was compiled to provide strategy games and challenges from around the world which can easily be played anywhere. Most of them have their origins in traditional games, and variations can be found in many countries. They serve to demonstrate that a love of strategy, tactics and social interactions is an important aspect of our way of being as a species.

Games to do at home
