THE MATHS OF OUR SCHOOL

We were very busy in 6.22 throughout week 3, particularly in Numeracy and Mathematics.  As a class we discussed all of the different facts that we could like to calculate and measure in the school. This ranged from what the perimeter of the pitch is, to the width of our class library, the height of our climbing wall in the playground and the number of desks that are required for the entire school.

We used a range of different measuring tools but our favourites were the meter stick and the trundle wheel. In our groups we collected data in our class and outside and shared with others.

We also created a map of our school with co-ordinates, plotting the various points of interest and making a key.

We are looking forward to developing our measuring skills further in the coming weeks!
