Maths Week 2014

Well done to all our students for their great effort during our recent Maths Week. Each class were very busy all week participating in Maths Trails, Maths stations and shape spotting!

3rd-6th classes were also given online tasks during the week on www.Mangahigh.com. There were plenty of gold, silver and bronze medals achieved. Well done all!

5th and 6th classes had a visit from Tony Prunty who discussed the use of Maths in day-to-day life and also in sport. There was a focus on the GAA where Maths is highly evident from the lines on the pitch (13m, 21m, 45m, 65m etc) to the use of numbers on the score boards. We really appreciated your visit Tony!

Here are some snaps from our busy week!
