Maths Week Vs Great Plant Hunt!

The week before half term, was Maths week at Fairlop and also the national 'Great Plant Hunt'. In maths, Mr Trutwein was teaching about data gathering and for the plant hunt, we had to identify different types of plants found around the school grounds, and take photos!

So we decided to link both activities together and we collected data on how many plants we saw of a particular type.

Here are some pictures of the flowers we found... see if you have these in your garden or local park!

Problem Solving in Numeracy

Last Friday, we had numeracy in our normal classes and was set a challenge!!!

Our challange was...

You have 20 straws and you have to make as many squares as possible - no bending or cutting the straws!!!

We had a great time trying to solve this problem and we all agreed that the maximum amount of squares without crossing straws, was 9.

Then Mr Trutwein let us cross the straws and some of us managed to make 32 squares!

Here are some pictures of us scratching our heads and working hard to solve this problem...
