Maths Week: Active Games

Children in Second Class worked with the children in Junior Infants and Senior Infants to play a number of Maths games in the school hall. The children in Second Class explained how to play the games to the younger classes. Well done to the boys and girls in Second Class who acted as exemplary teachers for the morning!

Problem-solving in First class

Children in First Class worked in groups of two and three to solve addition and subtraction problems. The children are learning about the different problem-solving strategies they can use to solve these problems. Children self-assessed their work. Great work today by the boys and girls! Marvelous Mathematicians!

Bubblz the Mathematical Entertainer

Today, fourth class attended ‘Bubblz the Mathematical Entertainer’ from Bubbly Maths. The show was on in Mary Immaculate College and was funded by SFI (Science Foundation Ireland) and DES (Department of Education). The topics covered were shape, space, problem-solving and mathematical thinking. This was a STEM event. Activities involved giant balloon shapes and soap bubbles. The boys and girls had a fantastic day!
