Summerlee Maths Trail

Summerlee Museum has two self-led math trails for primary school pupils which you can download and use for FREE!

As part of a teacher led visit pupils can work as individuals or in small groups to find hidden maths all around the museum’s 5 acre site, highlighting everyday applications of maths. The trails cover many learning outcomes including addition and subtraction, weights and measurement, shapes, and money, as well as fractions and multiplication for second level. Many of the questions will not have a finite answer but encourage the pupils to use problem solving skills, and general knowledge to suggest methods of calculation. Also provided are an answer sheet and teacher notes with additional guidance and problem-solving suggestions.

Call 01236 638460 or email museums@northlan.gov.uk to book your self-led visit.
