Maths Day at BSC Junior School was a resounding success as the new format trialled this year of ‘older’ learners pairing up and working co-operatively with ‘younger’ learners (at least 2 and above years apart) seemed to have kicked off a day full of interactive practical activities, culminating in a fantastic House competition segment at the end of the day.
During the day, the Year 4 students went down to a Year 1 classroom where they worked on buying and selling (money), telling the time, identifying shapes and their properties, and measuring length by using non-standard units.
The Year 4 learners also refreshed their mathematical knowledge by planning to ‘teach’ number bonds and adding and taking away numbers up to 20. It was good to see them using the number bond templates they had created as well as ‘number cruncher bone’ templates to explain the concepts.
Both group of learners enjoyed the 90-minute interactive learning carousel and, hopefully, are looking forward to similar sessions in the future.
