The Maths Detective

Dear Parents,
 
the Maths Detective visited Year 6 on Friday the 19th April.  This visit was part of a Techniquest initiative to deliver mathematical concepts in a 'dramatic' way.  The pupils solved a 'crime' alongside the 'detective' with the aide of video clips and 'on hands' activities to find the 'culprit' who committed the crime!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves solving the mathematical clues and we were all able to identify the person responsible from the 'suspects' presented.

Here are a few shots of the pupils 'tackling the clues'.

Maths Detectives

On Friday, 19th April, the children of Year 5 were all transformed into Maths Detectives! Under the guidance of a leader from Techniquest, all of the children were involved in solving a robbery, using many different mathematical skills.
      Great fun was had by all and the robber was identified following some excellent mathematical thinking and problem solving. Well done Class 5....da iawn
