Maths Week Day 4: S1 made posters about a famous mathematician. Not only did we have posters on Einstein, Newton and Da Vinci but also on Turing, Al-Khwarizmi and even Kovalevskaya. We used the Timeline of Maths on Mathigon to get started https://t.co/C6e4iQ73NL @mathsweekscot

Maths Week Day 3: Our S1 pupils were investigating pentominoes! The aim was to find all 12 pentominoes by rearranging five squares into different shapes. They then had to see if they could fit all 12 pentominoes into a rectangle on https://t.co/zk8aoUAjfs @mathsweekscot

Maths Week Day 2: S3 had the chance to “meet a scientist” today with Dynamic Earth. A cryptographer spoke to our pupils about the history of code breaking and cryptology in this current digital age. Pupils had a go at some @NtlMuseumsScot code breaking themselves @mathsweekscot

Maths Week Day 2: S2 have been exploring Maths Tales by creating their very own Zine! Historically, zines were a way of promoting information before we had social media and the internet. Check out these colourful little pamphlets #MathsWeekScotland @mathsweekscot

Maths Week Day 2: S1 have continued to produce pi-kus. Today’s pi-kus are very creative! Who knew that poetry was so interwoven with maths? @mathsweekscot #MathsWeekScotland

Maths Week Day 2: S1 have been exploring Maths Tales by creating Hitomizashi Patterns using binary code. These patterns originate from North Japan where they are stitched and used to patch worn clothing @mathsweekscot #MathsWeekScotland

The competition is on for S3! We started our Maths Wi Nae Borders entries today and they’re looking pretty good already #mathsweek2024 #MathsWeekScot #mathswinaeborders

We kicked off @mathsweekscot by creating Pi-kus with S1 today! A haiku but using a 3-1-4 format instead of the classic 5-7-5 #pi-ku #MathsWeekScot

There is just ONE WEEK till Maths Week and we could not be more excited for all the activities we have planned. Follow along over the next few days for a sneak peak #mathsweek2024

Welcome back to all our pupils and an even bigger welcome to all of our new S1 pupils! We’re counting on you having a fantastic day #mathsjoke

Huge congratulations to the pupils from @Shawlandsmaths who take first prize! #glasgowmathschallenge2024

Good luck to all of our pupils sitting National 5 Maths and Higher Apps examinations today. Remember that your exam is at 9am!

It’s the start of a brand new term, so what better way to blow the cobwebs away than a maths puzzle? Following on from pattern work we did with S2 last term, can you replace the question marks with the correct figures? Hint: determine the pattern behind the numbers shown

Don’t forget that Higher and National 5 supported study is after school tomorrow! Come along to A8, A9 and A10 to have a look at some past paper questions 📚

🚨Attention all Nat 5 Apps pupils🚨 There is supported study for you tomorrow in A1 with Mr McCormick. Be there or be square!

With prelims on the horizon, we always say the best way to study in Maths is to keep doing past paper questions. Don’t forget that it’s also really useful to familiarise yourself with the SQA marking schemes. Try a past paper and mark it as if you are an examiner #revisiontips

This week, S1 have been learning to collect like terms. We have been using interactive algebra tiles and algebra discs on https://t.co/eJz4L0fEbn to visually see the zero pairs disappear when using a CPA approach. Using this approach links to previous learning of negative numbers

https://t.co/oY5HgFqdxj S2 @ShawlandsAcad small project using the @BigBangUKSTEM challenges. This was delivered during science week in March "Using Technology To Clean Plastic From The Ocean. Just noticed it was uploaded.@EdScotLfS @STEMscotland @Shawlands_STEM

With prelims just around the corner, why not check out Mr Stevens’ Maths videos on YouTube? Just type Glasgow Maths into the search bar to get topic by topic or past paper explanations for both National 5 and Higher #letsgetstudying
