This week is Maths Week Scotland and all pupils have been issued with a maths toolkit that can be used to complete numeracy homework activities. The toolkit includes a numeracy scrapbook, number lines, 100 square, whiteboard, ruler and a pencil case full of materials. The toolkit can be kept at home to complete activities and does not need to be brought back into school.
Pupils have been given a ‘Looking for shapes at home’ challenge which has been added to their numeracy scrapbook and involves looking for 2D shapes around the house. Please click on the link below to view the activity:
Pupils can complete the activity in any way they want – they might want to write, draw or even take pictures of the shapes they can find. Pictures can be sent to me in an e-mail. My address is: laura.mckenna@eastayrshire.org.uk
It would be great if you could let me know how you got on with the activity by filling out the family/child comments boxes at the bottom of the sheet. Did you enjoy doing the activity together and why? Did you find anything tricky? Was there something that your child did or said that really impressed you?
Numeracy scrapbooks should be returned by Monday 3rd October.
Thanks for your support.
Have fun!
Mrs McKenna
