Why arrange a maths trip?
Discover maths in the ‘real world’
If you're interested in taking your pupils further afield, we offer several exciting destinations abroad – offering your students the incredible opportunity to discover the importance of maths in the real world. This will help them to see the value in your subject and could significantly improve engagement once you return to the classroom.
- In Frankfurt, they’ll find the heart of the Eurozone and learn more about how the economy of the European Union functions. At the Deutsche Bundesbank Museum, they’ll learn more about the different currencies, the role of banks and the importance of banking supervision. They can even learn more about the importance of monetary policy and find out what happened during the hyperinflation of the 1920s.
- In New York, you can visit the Federal Reserve which underpins the world’s financial system. And at the Museum of American Finance, they can discover why the city’s spirit of entrepreneurship and democratic free market tradition helped it to become the financial capital of the world.
- In Paris, you'll visit the world’s largest science museum, the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie. Here, you can explore geometry, test Pythagoras’ theory and play games on the notions of function, cycloids and transformation. You can also explore the application of maths in scientific fields, including the social sciences.
Explore the history of maths
Florence offers an altogether different, yet no less inspiring experience of maths in action. This spectacular city in Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance and it was during this period that the scientific method was developed, which placed greater importance on empirical evidence and mathematics as part of the discovery process.
- Find out how maths helped Brunelleschi build the incredible dome that crowns the city’s cathedral.
- Uncover the life and work of two of the Renaissance’s greatest polymaths at the Museo Galileo and Museo Leonardo Da Vinci.
