Homework 7th October
Thank you for all the homework returned last week and for the yummy baking, I enjoyed tasting all the lovely cakes and biscuits. I promise, I did share them with my family! It was great to see you all using maths in everyday life! Hope you enjoyed the Maths Week Scotland family homework task.
Please find this week’s homework below:
Masterclasses
We started our P7 Masterclasses today and were using our numeracy skills to plan a holiday for a family of 4. We were able to understand and explain the importance of budgeting when planning a holiday . We compared costs and choose what to purchase within our £800 budget!
Maths Relay
During P.E. we used a variety of maths skills to complete our maths relay questions. We worked together as a team across the stage and had lots of fun and exercise along the way.
Famous Mathematicians
Primary 7 are kicking off by working in groups to research famous mathematicians and explore the impact they have had on the world!

Monday 23rd September – Family Numeracy and Maths Homework Challenge
Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society. It increases our opportunities within the world of work and establishes foundations which can be built upon through lifelong learning. Numeracy is not only a subset of mathematics; it is also a life skill which permeates and supports all areas of learning, allowing young people access to the wider curriculum.

Monday 23rd September – Family Numeracy and Maths Homework Challenge
Families can choose one activity (or more if you wish) from the grid and work on this together over the next two weeks. How you record and share your homework is up to you! There are some suggestions on the grid but please feel free to be as inventive as you wish. This homework will last two weeks. On Friday 4th October, the eldest child in each family should bring in their family homework and the pupils will get a chance to share their activity with the school community. The homework should be carried out as a family and each activity can be simplified or extended to allow everyone to take part. There are lots of real life challenges to allow our pupils to see the benefit numeracy and maths has on our everyday life. These activities are designed to be fun, active and engaging for all our learners. It will not only promote their numeracy, but it will also develop their problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills.
Please share your learning activities with us on twitter! @kirkhillPS and use our #
