CHILDREN on the south coast learned how maths is used in the real world.

BAE Systems and the Royal Air Force teamed up to provide a series of events introducing children to maths and engineering.

The shows at schools on the Isle of Wight, featured theatre performances and interactive workshops, and were designed to inspire children about the subjects.

The roadshow visited Ryde Academy, Christ the King College, St Thomas Primary School, Cowes Primary School, Carisbrooke College and Medina High School.
