We were fortunate enough this year to once again have the travelling Maths show 'World of Maths' visit our year 7 cohort. The students were provided with fun, colourful, hands-on, mathematical, problem solving activities showing them the relevance of Maths in their everyday lives and how Maths can actually be fun and entertaining. Students had the time and freedom to pursue their own paths in trying to solve the problems and encouraged the students to think. They experienced mathematics related to practical and real-life situations and developed skills necessary to work in small groups as an effective way of learning mathematics. The day was a success and we look forward to running this activity again in the future.
