Maths in the real world
At St.Francis’ we believe that maths is a cross curricular and creative subject where children learn best in the real world. Maths is taught every morning as an explicit subject but skills are used, applied and revised in the afternoon sessions such as PE, Science and topic work.
Here are some pictures of our Maths in other subjects:
Timing competions and ordinal numbers
Science experiments measuring speeds and length
Using ICT graphs and sound loggers to undertake sound experiments in class and around school
Using our outdoor abacus to calculate
Days, weeks and hours in science experiments

Making our own play dough and food

In PE lessons-long jump investigations
