Week of Inspirational Maths


This week the whole school has been having a special week of 'Inspirational Maths'.

Every day we have watched a growth mindset video about how our brains grow and change, how making mistakes is powerful, how you can use many strategies and how speed is not important.

The activities are designed to show hoe open, creative and visual Maths can be.

We are very lucky to have such a math-loving bunch of children. It really makes a difference to their progress.

Below are some pictures of the children working together to build shapes from a rope. They had 3 rules;
1. They could not untie the rope.
2. They all had to have at least one hand on the rope at all times.
3. They had to use all the rope.

The shapes they managed to make included; square, rectangle, star, pyramid and a cube.
