A superb new free maths trail resource has been designed by Tom Briggs. Full of useful tips and starting points, the resource is intended for educators to pick up and use straight away.<\/p>

The resource uses a story-first approach to promote richer experiences and telltale signs that maths is nearby, and highlights things that have been found to be necessary prerequisites for creating any type of maths-focused resource.<\/p>

There are two versions of the resource: one aimed at schools and one aimed at museums and libraries. Please do pass a copy on to your local museums and libraries!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
