Mathematics Day
from Issue 2 2023
Mathematics was the end-of-term winner as our Middle School celebrated Middle School Mathematics Day. The excitement was palpable as buses arrived for the numeracy event. The number patrol greeted the alighting students, sworn to “serve and correct” these dedicated staff, joined by their faithful sidekick Buzz sniffing out errors, lead the way. During the many mathematically themed opportunities, both within and outside the classroom.
Mrs Gregory, our Food Van Coordinator, created sweet, mathematically themed treats, which received a sold tick of approval from students and staff.
At the final assembly, Mr Jenkins announced the year-level winners of the “jelly beans in the jar” calculation. The students were asked to show how they arrived at their answers, including their working out. That was a vital piece of learning because one year level had two students provide the same solution, and the winner was the student who could show their calculations.
Congratulations to all students who participated by dressing mathematically, our teachers and staff who facilitated the many events and Mrs Cruickshank, our Instructional Leader - Investigate, who was the driving force behind the day.
