Primary 6.21 have been consolidating their understanding of a variety of mathematical concepts by creating their very own maths journals. As part of the learning process Primary 6 have enjoyed sharing their understanding of the concepts with their peers by taking part in a walk about talk about.
Primary 6.21 have moved onto their second Mearns Masters pathway of the year, The Coders. They shared their understanding of coding using a Jamboard and enjoyed sharing their understanding with the class.

The class were invited to attend a Maths Week Showcase that allowed the pupils to discover the different aspects of Mathematics that other classes studied during Maths Week.
We spent time today learning all about quadrilaterals and their properties including details about the types of angles they have. We learned that every quadrilateral has four sides and the sum of its internal angles is 360 degrees.
We wondered if every quadrilateral could be split into two triangles and we had great fun making all the shapes and working out that they can. 😊
