Year 4 had a carousel of activities on World Maths Day. The children were exploring a range of maths skills that are used every day. The children had the opportunity to use scales in order to weigh items and make up certain amounts using a range of objects within the classroom. They were also able to record data using a tally chart and present this as a bar chart. Some children even tried to represent this data as a pie chart! Year 4 explored the use of money and how to give change. Finally, they used their problem-solving skills and had a go at building the tallest tower possible out of marshmallows and building a bridge from just pasta! Needless to say, this resulted in a messy classroom.
