This week in Primary 6B we have been participating in a range of maths and numeracy challenges for Scottish Maths Week. We also came 363rd in the National Sumdog Challenge this week, out of 7761 participating classes!
We have been working in pairs and teams to apply our skills in numeracy and maths to some real life problem solving contexts. One of our Challenges was to solve the ‘Fidget Spinner Mystery’. We had to solve multiple clues to work out who sabotaged the classes fidget spinners- can you believe it was a TEACHER?! Here are some photos of us working out some of the clues with the support of our resources and devices in class.
“The Fidget Spinner Challenge was really fun!” said Millie.
“The Sumdog contest was really good and exciting. We kept track of our place all week.” said Daniel.
“We were so surprised we came in 363rd place!” said Josh.
Lacie said, “It was good to get on Sumdog more this week.”
