24TRA735 Christmas Maths Week Quiz with a difference

DATE:     THURSDAY, 12TH DECEMBER 2024
TIME:      9.30AM - 10.15AM
VENUE:  ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Target Audience: 3rd - 6th Class Primary School Pupils

We are delighted to announce a Live Christmas-themed Maths Week Quiz with a difference on Thursday 12th December. The main aim of the quiz is for pupils to enjoy playful and engaging learning experiences, and see Maths as a fun and accessible subject for all. The focus will not be on one correct solution, but will enable pupils to share their individual thinking and strategies.

The quiz will take place on Zoom and will last for 45 minutes, but it is envisaged that teachers will be able to further discuss the content with pupils afterwards.

Please note this is non competitive, and it is hoped that all pupils will enjoy the experience! Please ensure your pupils have a pencil and a blank A4 page. They may work independently or in pairs/groups. Plenty of Maths Talk is encouraged! Bígí Linn!
