We’re thrilled to be taking part in Maths Week Scotland 2023!

We’ll be launching and updated “Kipper the Cat’s Maths Trail” to use in the galleries. Join Kipper as he embarks on his first fishing trip, solving puzzles along the way and explore the different ways in which fishermen use maths both in the past and today. Suitable for ages 8-12.

Available from 25th September until stocks last!

Calling all Teachers! We also have a schools self-led version of the trail so why not visit the museum with your class and find out how maths was important to the lives and livelyhoods of fishermen. Contact us to arrange your visit.

We’ll also be taking part in Maths Week Scotland’s #ShowYourWorking campaign on Twitter to highlight how maths is used in all jobs, including those in the Museums sector. Follow the hashtag to inspire maths-themed curiosity!
