For Maths Week, all classes made a special effort to make maths as hands on and fun as possible to show how maths is relevant in our everyday lives. The children in Ms Moriarty’s class were looking with their “maths eyes” to take photos using the iPads and then come up with a maths question relative to the photo. Here are the results. See if you can answer any of their maths questions as a challenge during.
Tessellation Station
Maths Week in 3rd Class was all about 2-D Shapes. They also looked at how some 2D shapes can tesselate. They had great fun creating their own tessellating patterns. We have some tilers in the making.
For Maths Week in 2nd Class the children focused on playing Maths Games.
Division for Maths Week
During maths week, Ms O’Shea’s 4th class played a division game of Go fish. Instead of asking for a card, they revised their division facts. Instead of asking for 6 they asked have you 12÷2? They also used cubes to work out maths problems based on division.
4th class also played a maths board game working on their division facts today. They object was to get 4 correct answers in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Well done to 4th class making division fun during Maths Week.
3D Shapes
4th Class learned all about 3D shapes-how many corners, sides and faces all the 3D shapes have. To do this the children made 3D shapes using match sticks and bluetac. They also looked at the nets of 3D shapes-designing them, cutting them out and sticking them together.
