Maths looked a little different in P7 last week. As part of National Numeracy Day we looked some STEAM clips which demonstrated how Maths is so important in the World of Work. We heard from Scientists, Data Analysts, Builders, Bankers, Chefs and Engineers. Who knew Maths would touch upon so many different career paths! We then made our Numeracy lesson a little more active by going outside and starting a Maths Trail. It got very competitive as each group used their mental maths strategies to solve each problem. To finish off the week the class came up with some amazing designs crossing over curricular outcomes with both Art and Technology.
