P5-7 Outdoor maths

It may have been a grey, cold morning, but that did not stop Miss Whorlow and P5-7 heading outside to do their maths today!
 
Miss Whorlow issued the pupils with 4 challenges;
  • Estimate and measure –  to draw an accurate grid using metre sticks
  • Transfer shape positions from paper and record coordinates
  • Plot given coordinates and identify resultant shapes
  • Challenge another group by giving coordinates for shapes they have created
The pupils worked co-operatively together on these challenges and their final work is on the tarmac, in chalk , for all to see. 
 
Back in the warmth of the classroom the pupils have written up their work and placed photographs of the end product in their jotters for evidence.
 
It is great example of how the staff and children at Portpatrick are using their local environment to develop learning and teaching.
