School pupils climbed into giant bubbles, solved puzzles and were even tied together during a week of activities aim to make maths more fun.
Children at Parkgate Junior School, in Southwold Road, Watford, ditched their textbooks as their normal lessons were scrapped and took part in a week of workshops last week – all with a maths theme.
Throughout the week, the pupils went on maths trails, designed recipes, weighed ingredients, solved puzzles, researched some famous mathematicians and wrote number poems.
They also designed and made new packaging for Smarties, alongside advertising posters, and used the sweets to help them create graphs, practice their fractions, solve probabilities and make patterns.
