World Cup Maths Resource

Join Jerry the Giraffe on the ultimate football adventure as he travels to Boston and Miami to report on Scotland’s World Cup journey!

Created on behalf of the Scottish Mathematical Council, this exciting maths challenge invites primary pupils to become travel planners, problem-solvers and football fans all at once.

Along the way, learners will use real-life maths skills to:

  • plan travel itineraries
  • compare flight times and costs
  • budget for accommodation
  • explore places to visit
  • solve time and money challenges
  • make decisions using data and information

Packed with fun, teamwork and Scottish spirit, this engaging resource shows pupils how maths helps us plan real adventures in the real world. Can your class help Jerry create the perfect World Cup trip? ⚽🦒🌍
