Edinburgh Clan had a fantastic time celebrating Maths Week Scotland! We have been very busy developing our numeracy skills, challenging ourselves and most importantly, having lots of fun with maths…
Throughout the week, we explored place value and learned lots of new mathematical vocabulary. We practised partitioning numbers, identifying greater than and less than and developed our understanding of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000. We worked hard to explain our thinking and use our new mathematical language confidently.
We also took part in the Maths Week Scotland Sumdog competition, which was a big hit! Everyone enjoyed logging on, answering questions and trying their best to earn points for our class. 🎮🌟
However, our favourite part of Maths Week Scotland had to be our active maths games. We loved getting up, moving around and working together while practising our maths skills. It was a great reminder that maths doesn’t always have to happen sitting at a desk.
In fact, we enjoyed our quick-fire maths activities so much that we have now introduced Daily 10 into our classroom routine. The class are really enjoying the challenge and it gives us a fun opportunity to keep practising place value, multiplication, division and other important number skills every day.
What a brilliant week of learning, teamwork and mathematical fun.
Well done, Edinburgh Clan! 🌟
