Maths week: Problem of the day winners.
Congratulations to Alison Teeling, Lucy Smith and Maggie Foley who are our problem of the day winners for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!
Maths Week: Using our Maths Eyes
The girls took part in lots of activities for Maths Week. One of these was to use their “maths eyes” to find examples of maths all around them.
Maths Week: Fun with Emma’s Mam!
Who knew maths could be so much fun? Today we were very lucky to have a visit from a real Mathematician……….Judith!
Judith and Lisa came into room 4 and helped the girls to learn the importance of maths by involving them in a baking lesson! One group did not use maths to bake and their cookies did not turn out too well 🙁 The two groups who used maths to measure and weigh the ingredients made some very tasty cookies and luckily there was enough for everyone to enjoy! 🙂
We also played a maths game and did some tricky problem solving. We even managed to squeeze a bit of dancing in too. It was a lovely morning and all the girls really enjoyed it. Thanks a million to Judith and Lisa.
