National Maths Week
Next week is National Maths Week.
At St Brigid’s we are aiming to mark this in a number of ways.
Some of these are listed below.
- Have some fun Maths Games in class.
- Some of the older children will have a Maths Puzzle home each day. There will be a small reward if it is solved correctly the next day.
- Have a competitive challenge each day with a daily winner leading to a Maths Week Champion in each class.
