Maths Week Dress Down and Hats!
What a fabulous response to Maths week! Sumdog Challenge, Beeetledrive, Newspaper challenge and lots more was rounded off today with a dress down on a maths/number theme. We took the opportunity to “show off” our Maths Hat creations. Many thanks to everyone who made that extra effort. We “count on” your support!
Math Week Challenge Primary 6
The challenge began by exploring Tessellating Patterns and discovering that they could be made by one or more shapes creating a regular pattern. Then to try to recreate this in your group using the materials provided. An additional challenge was given in the last 5 minutes to see if each group could create a tall structure! Well done Primary 6 some great team work was obvious.
