P1 NUMERACY

P4 and P5 STEM CHALLENGE

P4 and P5 were given three STEM challenges.  In teams, they had to build a bridge from Lego or CLIXI or other building materials, that could support a single can of food or bag of sugar.  They then had to make a bridge that could support two cans or two bags of sugar.  The final challenge was to see who could build the TALLEST bridge that could still support a single can or a bag of sugar. As you can see there was lots of team work and effort put in to completing these tasks.

IZAK9

Children in P6/7 have recently been working on fractions, decimal and percentages equivalence. They used a maths resource called Izak9 for this.  There are fractions, percentages and images on each of the 27 Izak9 cubes. The children then have to work together as a team to build a giant 'equivalence' wall, showcasing the relationship between the three variations. The learning environment is always rich in 'maths talk', discussion and debate as they work together to find the solution to the task set.
