On Sunday 4th September the stage 1 of the Cycle Tour of Britain will be finishing in Castle Douglas.
We would like to invite the school community to join us in creating a Maths Challenge about Mr Tyson’s bike! Our challenge is to create as many maths questions as possible about the bicycle. Questions can be for Nursery children all the way through to Primary 7.
e.g. For younger pupils How many wheels does the bike have? (Counting skills) What shape is a wheel? (Shape recognition).
For older pupils If the radius of a wheel is 10cm how large is the diameter? (Shape) Where parts of the bike (a) and (c) meet – estimate the size of angle and say whether it is acute or obtuse. (Angle)
Please post your maths questions here or on our website (leave a comment) or write them on a piece of paper and it can be handed in to class teachers.
Our next challenge will then be to try and answer all the questions!
