5th class dispensed with their maths books for Maths Week 2023. Great fun ensued!
Maths Week is always a fun week in the school calendar and this year was no different with 5th class undertaking many different activities including World Cup Brain Teasers, emoji equations, honeycombs (kind of like sudoku) and, always a firm favourite, Target Boards.
Some of the aims of Maths Week are to show the value of mathematics in everyday life, to inspire a love of mathematics among children and to foster a positive attitude towards the subject! We feel that those objectives were definitely achieved in 5th class during Maths Week 2023! Féach ar cúpla grianghraif thíos!
