Primary 5 were set a tough challenge today… Miss Montgomery asked everyone to try and create the longest paper chain possible using only one sheet of A4.  To make it even harder, each chain had to be exactly 2cm wide! Each pair had the same materials to work with: one A4 piece of paper, one ruler, scissors and glue.  As pupils only had one piece of paper, they spent time discussing their ideas and strategies with partners before beginning to assemble their chains.

Everyone had different ideas and it was so interesting to see all of the different designs.  We all came together and used our estimating skills to guess which one was the longest before comparing the paper chains.

And the winner was….

 

 

Well done Primary 5!! Your ideas for creating your paper chains were all brilliant.  Good luck in the next challenge…
