Can you choose one (or more) of the phrases and write an event that’s likelihood is described by the phrase.

Active maths – Currency
In class we have been learning about currencies. Some currencies we have been learning the Dollar,euro,USD and the Mexican Peso. Today we played different active maths games to help us learn more about this subject.
Adam – My favourite game is the pairs game where we had to match amounts in British pound to foreign currencies.
Blair – My favourite game is the travelagents board game where we had to go on the ipods and look at the latest currencies in real life.
Active Maths
We have been using the new approach to maths that uses more games and interactive resources. We are working in maths teams and tackling tasks with partners. Post a reply to share your thoughts on the games and new maths textbooks.
