Today the P4s got together to complete some maths work outside. We worked in pairs and we had a sheet with lots of different questions on it.

Firstly we had to find right angles, and shapes in our environment,next  we had to time how long it took us to walk around the school – then estimate how long it would take us to walk round three times.

We also had to work out some fractions and find examples of tiling and symmetry.

We had to measure using strides and hand spans – we worked out that our answers were different because we have different sizes of hands and strides.

It was interesting to try to use our maths skills in different places, some of the questions we found quite easy but others were more tricky. We were glad that we were working in pairs this time!
