Celebrating Maths Week Scotland!

This week, we has so much fun taking part in lots of different maths activities and seeing how maths is used in the world around us.

Here we are on a ‘maths walk’ trying to find examples of maths in our environment.

“We found angles!”

We also counted how many steps it would take to get from one side of the MUGA to another! We compared our answers and why they were different. We figured out that the bigger your shoe size, the less steps you would need to take!

“This leaf is symmetrical!”

We made calculations from natural objects in the woodlands!

 

We were so lucky to have Mrs Munro come in to talk to us about her job as a dress maker. We were able to look at some of her costumes she made for a pantomime and see how she measures people to make sure their clothes fit. We even got to have a go at measuring our friends and recording the results!
