Last week, Year 3, 4 and 5 were visited by Maria from National Numeracy for an exciting assembly on maths in the real world. This has been a focus in school for the last few years, as we try to provide children with examples of where they will need to use maths in everyday life after their school days! In Year 5, we entered the Number Heroes competition, and the children spoke about how they will use maths in their dream jobs. Please see some excellent examples below. On Friday, Year 5 had a session with Maria where we looked at characters, their jobs and their hobbies. The children discussed with Maria the possible links to maths in each of these. See the photos below for some examples. In our assembly, we explored this idea further with the lower school. The children made some excellent contributions on where we might see maths beyond the classroom. If you have time over the next few weeks, perhaps you could discuss with your children how you use maths in your everyday life? Can your child spot maths in the real world when you're out shopping? Going for a walk through the park? Baking a cake?
