We were delighted to get involved in Maths Week Ireland this week. We’ve had so much fun!
We started with a Maths assembly on Monday. We talked about how maths can be seen in our environment – even on a football pitch or in a swimming pool!
Lots of classes went on visits. Ms. Calvey’s Class visited the Ilac Library and read some maths stories. 2nd Class went to St. Patrick’s Campus, DCU for a ‘Bubbly Maths’ workshop. 6th Class went to DIT Grangegorman for a problem-solving workshop while 3rd Class visited Cabra Library for a ‘Maths Eyes’ exhibition.
Our week finished with a giant Maths Trail in the Botanic Gardens. Every child from 1st Class to 6th Class went and worked together to find the answers to the puzzles set by Ms. O’Callaghan.
