Primary School Maths Trail

This is a maths trail I created for our primary school. Parents were invited to school for the afternoon to complete the trail with their children. Some teaching staff helped the children whose parents couldn’t attend do the challenge in groups. Other staff were positioned around the school to offer help and talk with parents. Several teachers were stationed at a desk where the participants could have their photos taken and get a certificate once they’d finished. There was also a refreshments desk manned by parent volunteers.

Although I designed this maths trail using photos of my school, the ideas for the challenges are quite applicable to any school. You could use this file to give you ideas for your maths trail, or edit it using photos of your school. Just make sure you work out what the answers are!

I hope your maths event is as successful as ours. The parents and children loved it! :)

This pack includes the following: my maths trail, answer sheet, explainer sheet for staff and a certificate.
