Last week we celebrated maths week and displayed our love of maths through different tasks. We kicked off maths week with maths through stories and read “Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi” This interesting story led to productive conversation on the key properties of a circle. We used language such as radius, diameter, circumference and measure\/measurement. The class then set off on a task – to draw a perfect circle with only chalk, string and a metre stick. They used discussion skills and problem solving to work out the radius and diameter – and for one group the circumference – of a circle. The Primary 7 classes worked together for this task which gave us new perspectives and insight.<\/p>\n

We looked at Parabolic curves to see how we could create a curve only using straight lines. The class were given minimal instructions and told to see what they could achieve. P7A created a display from their parabolic curves to discuss and share their learning.<\/p>\n
