All of the children are busy working on puzzles for Maths Week 2018 this week.You can follow our class blogs to see us at work. Here is one of our maths trails:
SCOIL BHRIDE MATHS WEEK MATHS TRAIL 2018
Now you're in your team. Get ready to go and best of luck!!!
1. Start at the front door. Walk in a clockwise direction,
(a) count the doors you can see (b) name 4 right angles, (c) 1 obtuse angle, (d) 1 acute angle, (e) 1 circle, (f) 1 rectangle, (g) 1 square.
2. On your trail, write down the letters you see stuck on the walls and unscramble them to reveal a mathematical 3D shape!!
3. Make a 2D shape out of Autumn leaves and twigs in the square at the back of the school. Write the name of your shape and team name beside it. (Extra point for the best shape!)
4. Work out how many children could stand side by side along the white line at the centre of the big yard using only your team members.
5. Estimate the height of the school from Mrs Coyne’s back door.
6. Use your metre stick/trundle wheel to measure the length of the big yard.
7. Count the steps at the back of the school. If a snail climbs up 3 steps each day and falls back 1, how long would it take him to reach the top?
8. Work out the perimeter of the Astro Turf using your metre stick. (Can you work out the area too?)
9. Look at the number plate on Mrs Fay’s car. Add up the digits on it. There are 4 more digits on the school building which will make the total add up to 43? What are these digits?
10. Add up all of the digits on the glass on the front door.
11. Work out the perimeter of one of the vegetable boxes. What is the total perimeter of all of the boxes? If you laid each piece of the frames out side by side how far would they stretch?
