MORAY Council is making learning fun with a summer holiday maths challenge in Forres.
Merging maths with nature, the outdoor number trail is helping youngsters learn that maths is all around them.
A simple map guides children and adults to key locations around the centre of Forres, where they have to search for the answers to number-based questions. The event is supported by Moray Libraries Service.
Adult and family learning team co-ordinator, Ian Bailey, said: “The number trail takes families to examples of distance, time and dates, along with a counting activity and questions on price, a phone number and address.”
The challenge will take approximately an hour to complete for primary school children accompanied by an adult.
Leaflets for the number trail can be picked up at Forres Library which is the start and end point of the route.
Completed entries will be entered into a draw to win a £20 voucher donated by Forres Coffee House.
The voucher is to be spent in the café, which is located within Forres House Community Centre.
