We celebrated Maths Week from the 14th to the 18th of October. There were a wide range of activities in the school to celebrate this special event. Have a look at some of the activities below.
Some classes developed their problem solving and team working skills by working together to solve problems using Izak 9 cubes. Other classes used Lego Six Bricks to revise multiplication and division tables.
Some classes took advantage of the good weather and brought their learning outdoors. The students used their maths eyes to discover maths in the world around them. 3rd class were out looking for shapes, 4th class were looking for lines and angles and 5th class students were out collecting data.
Classes had great fun playing with a variety of games in the school hall. Board games and card games allow the children to develop a wide range of skills including problem solving, strategic thinking, pattern recognition, memory and focus and social skills.
5th class students took part in a Maths Week LIVE event organised by Microsoft DreamSpace. This webinar allowed the children to develop their coding skills and talk about all things maths.
3rd class students began their coding journey by completing lesson one Introduction to Microbit. The children had great fun becoming familiar with the basic coding blocks and looking at how the Microbit can respond with a variety of inputs and outputs.
