Maths Week

This week the children were involved in lots of different maths learning. One of the activities involved the children creating a picture using shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, pentagons, hexagons, crescents and hearts. We based it on the picture "Mr Clown" (see below). 

Another one of the maths activites was problem solving. They had to solve the problem "go karts have 5 wheels. How many wheels would 7 go-karts have? The children found this challenging. They worked in small groups to solve the problem. Look at the photos to see what strategy they used to work out how many wheels altogether.
