Maths Relays in Upper Primary

As part of the activities we do in Maths in Upper Primary we have our Maths relays which take place on Week 11 of every Term. Children have the chance to review concepts learnt in class in a fun and different way. 

Maths around the school - 1st Caceres

1st Grade Caceres was practicing subtraction using a number grid they designed on the floor with masking tape. They would throw bean bags to two different numbers and come up with a subtraction. A fun and creative way to practice subtractions!

Fun Investigations - 1st and 2nd Grades

Biscuit Decorations

Andrew decorated 20
20 biscuits to take to a party.

He lined them up and put icing on every second biscuit.

Then he put a cherry on every third biscuit.

Then he put a chocolate button on every fourth biscuit.

So there was nothing on the first biscuit.

How many other biscuits had no decoration? Did any biscuits get all three decorations?

Fun Maths with buttons - Prepa

Here are four ways to turn those old buttons into easy a positive learning experience!

What you need: an assortment of buttons, a bowl, construction paper and glue!

What you do:

·         Sort the buttons. Dump the buttons onto the table or floor. Point out all the pretty colours and different sizes. You can put them into separate piles. You can sort them by colour first, then by shape, and then by size. You can sort them into two: colour and size?

·         Count the buttons. Drop the buttons into a bowl while counting.

·         Button Patterns. Look for patterns, such as red, blue, red, blue… Continue the pattern! Make other challenging patterns such as three-coloured pattern!
