Before the snow fully hit Gartcosh, Primary 5 had some fun with glitter to illustrate what happens in our brains.
We each added different colours of glitter to a bottle of water. The bottle itself represented our skull, the water was the glue and the glitter was neurons and emotions.
When we shook the bottles we could see thousands and thousands of connections being made between the individual pieces of glitter. This showed just how complex our brains are!
In Maths we have been working with a partner while learning a new method of multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We had to give a partner a calculation to work out and they had to explain the working on their whiteboard. This allowed us to learn from each other and improve our knowledge.
Here is an example of what we were doing:
2 3
x 4
Units first: 3 x 4 = 12
Then the tens: 20 x 4 = 80
Finally add your two answers: 12 + 80 = 92
The best partner group was Iona and Lucy. Well done girls!
