Liverpool Maths Party
SAVE THE DATE: Liverpool Maths Party, 27th September 2024
The Liverpool Maths Party is an annual event where schools across the city take time to explore the importance of maths to our daily lives. For our 9th year, we will be exploring the theme of "Liverpool and Maths." Schools and settings are invited to explore mathematics through the lens of Liverpool and the city region... you could research Liverpool-based mathematicians or find out how local businesses use maths skills; you might look at how shape and measurement is used in Liverpool architecture or explore local transport timetables; you could even look at maths relating to the Fab 4! The open-ended theme will allow schools to think creatively about what aspects of maths to focus on.
Make sure you’ve put this into your school calendar!
National Numeracy Day
It’s National Numeracy Day on Wednesday 22nd May. You can find a range of resources and ideas on the National Numeracy Day website:
