Breathe fresh air into your lessons and inspire a new enthusiasm for your subject. Discover how Maths is applied around the world, have fun and improve students’ results. Step back in time to Florence where early mathematical principles were formed, watch numbers in action at one of the world’s stock exchanges or enjoy some serious interactive learning at one of the latest museums dedicated to mathematics such as MoMath in NewYork.

Make links between maths, nature and art and enable your students to appreciate how your subject is crucial to all aspects of everyday life. Get your students thinking about the subject in new ways: investigate whether the Louvre pyramid really does have 666 panes, calculate the seating capacity of a world class stadium, identify the beauty of a cathedral’s complex geometry or ride a roller coaster to estimate its speed.

Investigate monetary differences and changing time zones and challenge more advanced students to calculate distances using plane and spherical geometry. The opportunities are endless! Don’t forget to round your trip off with an analysis of the distances you have covered and the time and fuel used.

An STS Maths Tour will empower your students to make vital connections between maths in the real world and their classroom learning, as well as encourage them to consider the importance of the subject within their future careers.
