Count on Us: Year 5 Maths Challenge Afternoon

Yesterday was Year 5's maths challenge afternoon.  We would like to say a big thank you to all of the parents that joined us - we hope you had fun!

Year 5 demonstrated some amazing mathematics skills and fabulous learning behaviours. There were some wonderful reciprocity skills on show, with children working together and helping each other to solve their challenges. The children also used their resourcefulness skills, trying out ideas, exploring possibilities, working methodically and capitalising on each other and their previous Count on Us challenges in order to solve their puzzles. As well as all that, we also saw a bucketload of resilience in all of the games, but particularly when trying to create a square in tangrams - it was tricky, but the children (and some parents) persevered and succeeded. Well done everyone!

The successful team of Elizabeth and her dad!
