NATURE NAVIGATORS Exploring the maths hidden in the natural world In this hands-on afterschool series, students become curious explorers as they uncover the surprising connections between maths and nature. From spirals and symmetry to prime numbers and patterns, each session reveals how the natural world is full of mathematical secrets waiting to be discovered. Through investigation, creativity and outdoor-inspired challenges, pupils build confidence, curiosity and problem-solving skills — while seeing maths in a whole new light. Move It! Treasure Hunts & Transformations Slide, flip and shift your way to hidden treasure! Explore translations (and other transformations) as you follow coordinates, decode movement clues and map your route to success. Spiral Architects Exploring Fibonacci Sequences & Nature’s Patterns Uncover the hidden number pattern behind spirals in flowers, shells and galaxies. Build, draw and design your own Fibonacci-inspired creations while discovering why this famous sequence appears all around us. Prime Time Cicadas The Secret Strategy of Prime Numbers Why do cicadas wait 13 or 17 years to emerge? Dive into the fascinating world of prime numbers and discover how maths helps these insects survive. Crack codes, spot patterns and explore the power of primes in nature. Sorting Secrets Classifying with Venn Diagrams Step into the role of a maths detective as you sort, group and classify objects using Venn diagrams. Explore overlaps, patterns and logical thinking while uncovering how mathematicians organise the world. Mirror, Mirror Finding Symmetry in Nature Discover the beauty of balance as we explore symmetry in butterflies, flowers and beyond. Create your own symmetrical designs while uncovering the maths behind nature’s mirror magic.
