National Numeracy Day

On the 19th May P5/6/7 spent the day applying their numeracy skills and learning new strategies to support them with their learning.

The children practiced their problem solving skills and used strategies such as trial and improvement as well as working backwards to help them solve the challenges that were set.

In the afternoon they took their maths outdoors. They measured the perimeter and area of the football pitch, went on a mathematical  fractions scavenger hunt and displayed data through pie charts and bar graphs using natural resources.
