Christmas Shopping at Strone – Maths in Context!

Representatives from our Primary 4-7 classes at Strone Primary School went to the local supermarket today to buy food for the school Christmas party. We all chose the food that we wanted and then the group used their maths skills to make sure that we stayed within our budget and made the most of all the 2 for 1 offers in the supermarket. We used our mental maths skills then checked with a calculator. We used our skills in multiplication, division, fractions and problem solving to make the most of our money. It was tricky to keep a track of everything we bought, but we did very well and even had 50p left over! We hope everyone will enjoy the lovely food we bought, at our party tomorrow.
