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

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.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon they took their maths outdoors. They measured the perimeter and area of the football pitch, went on a mathematical\u00a0 fractions scavenger hunt and displayed data through pie charts and bar graphs using natural resources.<\/p>\n
