Lifting the lid on some of the mind-boggling facts and figures of the natural world, Wild About Maths is set to be the hottest new TV programme to hit our screens for years. Or it will be – if we can get our star presenter, Hilde Beest back from the savannah where she’s stranded after her supplies failed to turn up! And that’s where you and your school come in. Can your pupils show the teamwork of lions, the number agility of chimpanzees (chimps can do fractions – who knew?), the geometrical skills of desert ants and the resilience of hippopotami? Because that’s what’s needed to solve the problems facing Hilde Beest and get her back to the studios before Wild About Maths goes live!
Featuring an opening assembly, workshops, classroom-based challenges and a closing film for teachers to share with pupils, Wild About Maths offers children opportunities to practise a range of age-appropriate mathematical skills, all aligned with the Curriculum for Excellence – and explore the maths of the natural world! And it’s been designed in such a way as to accommodate and the whole of up to a two-form entry school in a single day.
Exploring: additive and multiplicative reasoning, properties and measurements of 2D shapes, patterns and sequences, positional language, money and time.
