Maths Week

Picture

12th - 16th of October 2020

The school had many activities to mark Maths Week 2020.             
All the children had an opportunity to engage in a number of different activities.
It was great fun!

'Maths at Home' Photo Competition

Students were invited to take a picture of Maths at home and send it into their teacher. Here are some of the many entries that we had. Well done to everyone who sent in a picture!!

14th - 18th October 2019 


    The school held many activities to mark Maths Week 2019.               All the children had an opportunity to engage in a           number of different events. It was great fun!

​

Monday - Estimation 

In the junior section, the children had to estimate how many coloured balls were in the bag. A few clues were given. There were some excellent estimations. The winner was only 1 off! Well done! 

In the senior section, the children had to estimate the area of the two yards (excluding the alcoves!). In each class we revised how to find the area of a space. The answer had to be given in metres squared. Three children in sixth class managed to estimate the exact answer! WOW! 


Tuesday - Data 

A number of members from the Student Council carried out surveys in the school. 

There were a few different questions:
Junior and Senior Infants - Which fruit do you prefer?
First and Second Class -Which colour do you prefer?
Third and Fourth Class - Which hobby do you prefer?
Fifth and Sixth Class - Which bar do you prefer? 

We made graphs and pie charts from the information gathered. 


Wednesday - Length 

In the junior section, the children had to throw a bean bag as far as they could. We measured the distance with a trundle wheel. It was a great competition with four children throwing the bean bag over 14m. The joint winners threw the beanbag a brilliant 14.5m! 

In the senior section, the children had to throw a javelin. This became a very close competition. Just like the junior section, it ended up being a draw. Well done to the two winners who managed to throw the javelin an amazing 16m. 

Thursday - Tangrams 

Junior and Senior Infants got an opportunity to play with the seven Tangram pieces to create different pictures.

The two competition sections were first to third class and fourth to sixth class. Each child was given a Tangram set and were asked to make a perfect square (using all seven pieces). The quickest child to make the square (without any clues) was deemed the winner. In the senior section, the winner managed to make it in less than 2 minutes. This amazing achievement was a clear winner! Well done! 


There are many websites online where you can make Tangram pictures! 

Friday - Tessellation 

Some classes coloured in a Tessellation picture. They explored how the different shapes fit perfectly together without any spaces. They coloured the shapes and pictures in different patterns. 

'Maths is Everywhere' Photo Competition

Students were invited to take a Maths picture at home and send it into Ms. Dowling. Here are some of the many entries that we had. Well done to everyone who sent in a picture and got their name in the raffle. There were over 90 pictures sent in!
