Maths Week Ireland

Maths Week Ireland is an all-island initiative promoting positive attitudes towards maths and highlighting the importance of maths in our lives since 2006. This annual festival is a collaborative partnership of organisations including all the universities, institutes of technology, professional bodies, visitor centres and more.

Maths Week is one of four national STEM festivals: it engaged directly with over 500,00 people in 2023, making it the world's largest maths festival

"Maths Week is an important way to help learners, of all ages, enjoy maths and to highlight the creativity of the subject." Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, assistant professor at UCD and science communicator.

Maths at Work

Through 'Maths at Work' we are hoping to shine a light on the wide range of careers that use Maths on a day to day basis. Maths is everywhere and often we treat the maths we can do as common sense, and the ones we can't do as mathematics.

Encourage and inspire young people by becoming a role model! Help them to see the usefulness of Maths and recognise its impact on all careers and everyday life

Maths & Success

Maths Week has been a successful model evidenced by growing participation rates and positive outcomes/impacts over a series of evaluations. 85% of teachers felt participation in a Maths Week event improved their pupils' attitude towards maths. In the SFI Science in Ireland report (2015) respondents showed Maths Week with highest participation and third highest recognition (after BT Young Scientist and SFI's Science Week).

The Maths Eyes Concept

If you can see the maths that you do in your everyday life you will build your confidence in your own ability with mathematics.

Implementing the Maths Eyes concept is a low Threshold High Ceiling approach that means everyone can get started but the concept also enables lots of built in extension opportunities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Our mission is to help you to see the maths that you use in your everyday life by opening your Maths Eyes. Unlock Your Maths Eyes.

Whack A Mole

A counting game, forwards or backwards.

Learning objective:
Counting forward/backwards in steps of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 or 12.
Year 4: To count backwards through zero to include negative numbers

Use the sliders on the LHS to set steps you want to count in then the start number. Move the steps first before the start number so that the start number is a multiple of your step.

The switch on the RHS lets you swap between counting forwards or backwards.

There is no end to this game. When you get as far as you need, simply drag the slider back to start again.

For children in Year 4 and older, why not try exploring negative numbers. Set the game to backwards from 0.

HAVING TROUBLE LOADING? Please try this version.

25 Outdoor Maths Games for Everyone. A range of ideas and games for making maths accessible to all. Below is a brief video with some top tips for getting outside and enjoying maths in a more expansive space.

The Freebies

Useful posts to get you started teaching maths outside

Outdoor number explorations

Outdoor measurement

Outdoor patterns and relationships

Properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects - outside

Outdoor angles, symmetry and transformations

Handling data outside

Daisy footprints. Does the size of your footprint or the place where your boot lands that will flatten the most daisies? Useful open-ended investigation for a range of ages.

Information or data handling outdoors. Exploring a range of possibilities with a group of teachers.

Resource-based outdoor maths explorations

Environmental maths explorations

Broader explorations of maths

Sketchnoting Capturing maths and other educational thoughts. Examples that include maths concepts. I also advocate teachers showing children how to sketch note so they can do their maths journals using this technique.

Can I go on the computer, Mum? A parent's experience of playing a game and giving her son the opportunity to create a game and change the rules. The outcome was much more positive.

Making environmental print meaningful at Stramash Fort William How one outdoor nursery created signs that were personalised and relevant to each child at nursery. It's about using non-standard measurements to measure distance.

Amazing mazes. A wonderful exploration and creation of mazes by a group of P6 children with additional support needs. Thank goodness for brain diversity and creativity.

The aim of this game is to match pairs of cards.

Click on a card in the interactivity below to turn it over. Then click on another one. If the two cards match, they will stay face-up. If the two cards do not match, they will return to being face-down.

The game ends when all the cards have been matched in pairs.

Click on the links below if you would like to try some alternative versions of the Level 1 game:

Play with face-up cards - the cards are all face-up at the start so you can focus on the maths rather than the memory aspect of the game. How quickly can you match them all?

Play with a scoring system - you start with 100 points, lose 10 points whenever you turn over cards that don't match, and add 50 points whenever they do match.

Once you've mastered Level 1, there are four more levels to try, getting progressively more difficult:

What strategies did you use to work out that two cards matched?
Which pairs did you find easy to match?
Which pairs did you find more difficult to match?
We would love to hear about the strategies you used as you played the game.
