FOOTBALL MATHS AND FUN SCORES!
Class 5 have been very busy indeed today…with Maths Day! To start with, we found out all about Mr Scott’s new times-tables challenge (and most of us got our first silver star); we went on to use an online database to identify, collect and present information about football. We did some really interesting investigations! There was some ground-breaking research comparing top footballers’ weight to number of goals scored, while other teams compared the points won to goals scored, or the number of goals scored by specific footballers over time.
We then practiced our mental maths skills (many of us earning the highest number of points in a test yet) and calculations. In the afternoon, we learnt how to calculate volume, before investigating the volume of open top boxes which could be made from the nets formed within squares. Systematic keeping of results meant that some very interesting links were found with square numbers.
What did you learn today?
What did you enjoy most?
How does a good mathematician investigate?
Is there anything else you would have liked to investigate?
I enjoyed Maths day! It was really fun I enjoyed doing the maths football scores. I think our team worked collaboratively. We all agreed on the same thing without arguing. I can’t wait for the next maths day.

Maths day was AWESOME! I had so much fun and I think lots of others did too! I really enjoyed drawing the bar graphs and colouring them in too.

Really fun! 😉

Maths day was really fun especially when we got the angry bird sheet for our times tables.

Maths day was totally cool !
I had so much fun this maths day! I particularly enjoyed making lots of bar charts and tally charts with my group. We all worked together well, without arguing.
Maths day was fantastic and we had a lot of fun! 🙂
