Maths Week - Day 2

Today, Palmer and Barton class went off to Wisley Gardens, so it was up to Cameron and Moore Classes to fly the flag for Maths week!

In Cameron Class, we started the day by taking a look at the link between fractions, decimals and percentages.  Although a tricky lesson, we all worked really hard and were able to complete the work quickly.  This afternoon we have researched famous mathematicians and created information pages to show what we have found.  Did you know that Fibonacci spent almost all his time watching chickens?!  In groups, we looked at Galileo, Einstein, Newton, Fibonacci, Pythagoras and Archimedes.

In Moore Class, we linked our Maths with our Literacy work, combining coordinates and fantasy worlds!  We had to design and create our new worlds on a grid and add details, then plot the coordinates for each place. 

The Mathletics competition is now underway, and children are busy collecting points.  Can you get the highest score and receive one of those prizes on Friday?
