Maths Week Scotland was a busy week for Primary 2. Each day we’ve had a different challenge to complete and we’ve been thinking about money, shapes and direction.

As part of our homework we found out how our families use mathematics in the everyday.

We wrote stories using number sequence knowledge which prompted interesting conversations about our number knowledge.

The biggest event of the week was the Whole School challenge. Pupils had to work as a group of 4 to build a tower.  We worked in random groups using our tally cards to choose groups.  We sketched the designs first and then commenced the build.

During the challenge, we had to contribute our ideas and listen to our team, share materials and make compromises.
