Northern Architecture's award winning maths trail for Key Stage 3 school groups in the North East
Children use maths every day – without realising it! They budget their pocket money, measure ingredients when baking fairy cakes and monitor the football league tables. Even the rhythm and melody of music is based on maths.
So, what about using maths to explore architecture?
Working with maths specialist, Steve Humble (Dr Maths), Northern Architecture brings Key Stage 3 Maths to life through exploring some of the region’s greatest buildings.

Schools Workshop Programme 2009-10
For schools across the North East
2009 - Autumn 2010
At Northern Architecture we firmly believe that encouraging children and young people to look, question and think creatively about their built environment has valuable educational benefits, both in terms of the National Curriculum and beyond. Following on from a successful series in 2008/09, we are pleased to introduce our latest programme of workshops that encourage and support pupils to understand, explore and design buildings and places.
Our workshops address many aspects of the curriculum - including ‘Can Buildings Speak?’ and ‘What’s in a Building?’ - and the Every Child Matters agenda, in meaningful and unique ways, motivating pupils to learn and challenging them to think about the places in which they live and how they might change in the future.
The programme allows schools to select from a range of off-the-peg design workshops that enable pupils to explore architecture through hands-on process based designing and making sessions. Teachers have found the workshops particularly relevant to Art & Design, Maths, Geography, English and Design Technology subject areas
