Schools in East Lothian have been offered an amazing opportunity to create maths calculations that will feature on flags at the Scottish Open in Gullane and seen by viewers all over the world!
Click here for the competition outline and details for entering.
Background
Numeracy and mathematics are core to education and skills development across all aspects of learning and teaching. The Making Maths Count report was published by the Scottish Government in September 2016 and sets out a range of recommendations that aim to raise awareness of, and confidence and attainment in, maths and promote its value and relevance to education, life and work. One of its key recommendations was to create positive initiatives and partnerships that promote maths in real-life, fun and relevant ways. You can access the report here.
Aberdeen Standard Investments, together with the Scottish Government, East Lothian Council, The European Tour and VisitScotland, have developed an initiative to help encourage greater enthusiasm for maths amongst the country’s children – by running a competition across East Lothian schools to print mathematical calculations that will feature on the 18 pin flags at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Men’s and Ladies Scottish Opens in July 2018.

These photographs are always a good keepsake, marking the years of secondary school. Information about how to purchase the photographs, if you should wish to do so, will be sent home in due course.
Pupils should be dressed smartly, in full school dress code for this event. Senior pupils should be in their blazers and ties. All pupils should be wearing a white shirt, tie and all black trousers or skirts and shoes.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns.
