In preparation for Maths Week Scotland next week, we all got to participate in a hands-on, fun maths workshop today led by Mrs Hall from the D&G STEM team and created by the Liverpool Mathematical Society. And it certainly lived up to its name – it was indeed MEGA!
The P1-4 crew enjoyed their maths fun first thing; whilst the older bunch got their thinking caps on after breaktime.
The pupils kicked off their session with some triangle problem solving – they talked about the different skills they were using to find the solution: trial and error, logical thinking, guess and check, look for a pattern and work backwards.
Pairing up with their Talk Partners, they then chose from the many challenges on offer…and my oh my were those brain cogs whirring!
Such a fun morning of maths challenges using oodles of skills!
Just look at the happy maths faces below!
