Maths Trail

On Tuesday, October 16th, all the First Class pupils engaged in a very energetic and exciting Maths lesson with a difference. Much to the thanks of Ms. Duggan and a group of parents the children went outside to the school yard to explore and engage in various activities based on a variety of Maths Strands. 8 different Maths Stations were organised throughout the school yard.



A parent or teacher accompanied the children through the various stations, offering instruction and direction. The children then actively counted different objects and measured perimetres and areas using steps, hands, jumps, trundle wheels. They gained experience in estimating, discovering and comparing the actual answers.It was a great exercise in active learning and teaching using everyday objects to bring "maths to life" in a fun and active way.
