Maths Eyes

Maths Eyes is an innovative approach to building a positive image of mathematics. It involves giving learners of all ages a new perspective on the world around them by encouraging them to see everyday objects in terms of maths – be it in terms of numbers, geometric shapes, lengths and angles.

Maths Eyes was developed by a team at  the Tallaght Campus, Technological University Dublin and the National Forum for Teaching and Learning. Maths Week Ireland is pleased once again to team  up with Maths Eyes for this competition.  Congratulations to all the shortlisted entries. See links to those entries below.
