We have been exploring ‘Maths through stories’ for Maths Week Scotland.

The Maths Curse

We linked this with our Apprentice topic and had to create a maths themed story book for this week’s challenge. We read the book called ‘The Math Curse’ which is about a girl who overcomes lots of maths challenges in a day. We worked in our groups to then create our own story book about maths problems in a real life context. These books will be displayed in our maths area in class.

Bean Thirteen

We also read the story Bean Thirteen. This book explored prime numbers and we had a go at finding all the prime numbers within 100.

Escape Rooms

We had a go at solving escape room puzzles on chrome books. They were quite challenging but fun at the same time.
