Maths Week 2018

We had lots of fun while playfully learning during Maths Week.

Miss Ramsay explained that she has to count the stitches and spaces to follow the pattern while cross-stitching. Some of the children used needles and thread while making their own piece of sewing. Cross-stitching is very tricky when you are 3!

Some of the children made bread rolls with Mrs Flower. They weighed, measured, kneaded and timed how long the dough would take to rise. The dough almost doubled in size while proving.

Mrs Gemmell demonstrated all of the maths skills she uses when sewing and with the children’s help made a lovely handbag!

Our Maths Week family Bookbug was very busy! Thank you to all the families who were able to attend.

We worked as part of a team with Primary 5 pupils who helped us make a maths design.

As part of the Hands up Scotland Survey the children helped to make a graph all about how they traveled to nursery.

We explored numbers up to 20 by playing BINGO!

Some Primary 6 and 7 children from Netherlee Primary School came over to the nursery to share with us how they use maths to achieve in their various clubs and hobbies.

These are just a handful of the activities the children engaged in during Maths Week Scotland, we are already excited about next year!
