Last week we had fun celebrating inspirational maths week.  Each day we watched inspiring videos to promote a growth mind set in numeracy and maths.  Key messages included; don’t give up, believe in yourself, speed is not important and mistakes help us learn.  We learned that our brain grows every time we make a mistake and learn from it!

We were reminded that maths is all around us and completed a maths trail in our front playground.  A maths trail is an organised walk through an area where pupils can experience maths in the real world. A trail helps to highlight the huge use we make of number in our everyday life and how maths surrounds us in even the most unusual areas.  We were asked to measure distances within the playground, solve calculations regarding the number of cars in the car park and recognise patterns within the garden etc.  We then created our own maths trail for our P1 buddies to support their learning in numeracy.
