Maths Week Activity: Economics Outreach Scotland Maths Week 2024

Maths Week 2024 Activity

 

We’re also happy to be able to share an activity we have developed for Higher and Advanced Higher students for this year’s Scottish Maths Week. This worksheet looks at how we might use maths in economics to help analyse the impact of a tax on sugary drinks. We’ve attached an answers guide for teachers to use themselves or share with pupils who give the activity a go.

 

If any pupils find the activity interesting, we’d encourage them to get in touch with us if they would like to discuss how we use economics in our jobs!
