Looking for something fun but different to do during December? Why not read along with the Maths Week Scotland Christmas puzzle mystery if you missed it last year mathsweek.scot/news/finn-fini…. Here's what one of the schools who did it last year had to say about it.

#MathsWeekScot aims to raise the profile of the subject and encourage enthusiasm across the country. @Scotgov is providing £150,000 for the initiative, with @TorbainPS awarded a £500 grant for its "Wild Maths Measuring" activities.

A massive thanks to @froglifers for working with upper classes today, helping us to make links to how Maths is used for collecting wildlife data as part of @MathsScot Week ‘Wild Maths’. 🐸 🐍 🧮

Education Secretary @JennyGilruth visited @TorbainPS as part of #mathsweekscotland2025. Teachers and pupils across different age groups shared the variety of ways that maths and numeracy is experienced across the school.
