We all celebrated Maths Week recently!!
Looking for shapes! From Miss Cooke and the Infants:
During Maths Week, Junior and Senior Infants were learning about 2-D Shapes. We did a Maths puzzle, where they read clues about 2-D shapes, written by a Shape Monster, and guessed which shape the Shape Monster was describing.
We also spotted circles, squares, triangles and rectangles used in a pumpkin display, and learned a shape poem about Sammy Square, Suzy Circle, Tommy Triangle and Ricky Rectangle.

A note from 1st and 2nd Class and Miss Newton:
Some pics from our maths activity today!
The children worked in pairs and rolled 4 dice. If any of the dice made a total of 10 or they rolled doubles, they could collect a skeleton part. For example; If they rolled 3, 3, 4 and 6 they could get 2 skeleton parts each as they rolled a double and a total of 10. We had great fun!
I also gave www.sheppardsoftware.com as maths homework for the week!

Third and Fourth Class, alongside Miss Galbraith, studied Maths in the environment, and created entries for a competition called "Have You Got Maths Eyes?"
Here are a few sample entries!

5th and 6th Class and Miss Furney were also learning about shape, but this time it was 3D shape!
For Maths Week 5th & 6th class did 3D shapes. We learned about new shapes and their properties. We also constructed shapes using marshmallows and match sticks and we used 3D shape nets!
A cool construction...
