This week was Scottish Maths Week so we have been busy doing lots of different maths activities in Primary 4. Some of the highlights that we remember include:

• the ‘Bedtime Maths’ event on Wednesday afternoon – we worked with Primary 2 so that we could tackle lots of different challenges and problems. We really liked the problem about shoes and pyjamas!
• designing our own circle patterns – we had to use rulers to draw overlapping triangles and create a pattern. It looked like there was a star in the middle.
• ‘365 Penguins’ book – we listened to the story which was about a family that got one penguin each day for a whole year! We worked in groups to solve some problems based on the story. One of the problem solving strategies that we used was to draw a diagram. We had to draw pyramid patterns to organise the penguins.
