Maths Fun
Below are some comments from children at our school
Susanna McAlpine Year 1 aged 6.
We had a Maths day on Thursday. We had to dress up as something to
do with maths. I was wearing a tie with numbers on like take
away and add and times. When I got to school I was surprised at all
the nice costumes. I laughed because I didn’t think the
teachers would dress up but they did! Year 1 teachers were
dominoes and we had to work out the set. There were dice and ten green
bottles as well.
We did the maths trail first. We had a clipboard and a sheet on
it. It said things like "go to the office and what number
has it on the door?" We had to go to the music room and
count how many windows there were. We had to go to the hall to
see the counting caterpillar and write down the missing number.
We had to see how much money there was on the money washing
line. I liked counting the money best cos I like money and
I’ve got £1.96
In assembly we had a competition for the best costume. After play
our mums and dads came in and helped us play some maths games. We sang
some number rhymes for our mums and dads. In the afternoon we
made up our own maths games.
I thought maths day was very fun and I wish every day was like
that!
