What, Why, How and When of Mathematics Trails
Maths trails are the mathematical version of nature trails.
A maths trail can encourage children to seek out the mathematics in their environment; introduce children to the wonder of mathematics; help children to observe their school, town or village from a different viewpoint ; encourage children to see how mathematics is used by man to interpret the world in which we live ; bring about an appreciation of the interrelationships between mathematics and nature; help children to see the relevance of mathematics outside the classroom and to appreciate its aesthetic value.
