Maths Mania Week 2

Maths Mania Week 1 Entries

Week 1 - This week we are looking at the question, “What does ‘Maths’ look like?”. I would like you to find the most beautiful forms of Maths in your house or garden.

Perhaps look for some on your daily walk or exercise? Here are some examples of leaves being arranged into mathematical art. Maybe even have a go at creating mathematical art using household items. Here I’ve created patterns using cut up toilet rolls. Or try your hand at origami.
