Maths Eyes
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 Dinan's 5th class were looking with their “maths eyes” to observe their school environment and come up with their own maths questions. Here are the results. See if you can answer any of their maths questions as a challenge during. To finish off Maths Week they analysed a box of chocolates and created posters to represent their findings. It was most definitely a ‘sweet’ experience.

TTRS and Numbots
This year, we decided to focus on Tables, addition, subtraction and multiplication. The younger classes Juniors to 3rd Class focused on addition using Numbots while the older class (4th Class up) focused on multiplication using Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS for short). All classes took part in this. Below ar some pics of 3rd classes participating in Numbots. The plus side is that the children can use both Numbots and TTRS at home too.
Congratulations to our eight Times Tables Rock Stars and Numbots class winners from the in school Tournament over this Maths Week..

Data for Maths Week
During maths week, Ms O’Shea’s 4th class learned about Data. They looked at all the different types of graphs. In their groups they looked at the different coloured smarties in a tube of smarties and did a tally chart to figure out which was the most popular colour. They found out that the tubes of smarties all varied in their combinations.
Online Maths Quiz
A number of classes took part in Christmas Online Maths Quiz organised by the local education center. They really enjoyed the quiz questions as they made them really think outside the box.
