This week, all the p5\/6\/7’s took part in a Christmas Numeracy and Maths Challenge based on the 12 Days of Christmas.\u00a0 They had to work out how many gifts were received altogether in the song and try to look for creative ways to work this out.\u00a0 Some pupils used visual methods, written calculations, tables etc.<\/p>\n

They then had to work out how many ‘legs’ were in the song… things got a little tricky at Day 8 when there were maids milking cows with milking stools\u00a0 (which all have their own legs!).<\/p>\n

Megan, Charlotte, Ethan and Euan\u00a0were chosen as the final 4 who will go to Stranraer Academy on Thursday 14th December to represent the school in another transition Xmas challenge with the S1’s and the maths department.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
