A good project is easy to read and the information is presented neatly.  Here are some guidelines to help you.

We found our Cityscape pictures tessellating in the corridor.

We had fun with our tables too. We paired up with Ms Deegan’s 6th class for Tables Buddies and we had a Queen of the Tables competition. Comhghairdeas to our finalists Ruth, Maria, Olivia and our class winner Julia.

The highlight of our week was preparing our Door for the Maths Door competition. We went with the Story of 5 theme as we are in Room 5 and we have 25 (5×5) girls  in our class!

Finally we had Friday Maths Stations and a Whole School Maths Assembly in the Halla where we were awarded a prize for our Maths door. O Continue Reading
