What a great week we had to celebrate Maths Week here in school. All the classes enjoyed a visit to the hall for plenty of traditional board games and maths related activities on the chrome books, while other groups had great fun working collaboratively on outdoor maths trails during spells of autumnal sunshine. 3rd Class were wowed by their visit into the Meta Building in Ballsbridge to see how number and maths are so relevant in people's working lives. It was also wonderful to welcome so many parents into the school for their very own maths presentations and workshops, all of which were so well received and we thank them all for adding hugely to the fun and success of the week. Special thanks to our two 4th Classes who concluded the week with their amazing, jaw dropping assembly focusing on the theme of maths with a rap we have all been singing since about using our 'maths eyes'
Absolutely brilliant!

Maths Week 2021
Despite ongoing Covid restrictions, our Maths week in school this year was a great success. All the Classes, grouped in their respective pods, were surrounded by Maths related games and activities but guessing the number of sweets in the jar was probably the best 'treat' of all!!
Great fun was also had participating in the outdoor maths trails, daily number problems and riddles, story time and online maths quizzes all of which helped create a fantastic atmosphere of exploration and excitement around the whole subject of maths.

Maths Week 2020
We have all really enjoyed celebrating the fifteenth annual Maths week here in school since Monday the 12th of October. Despite the huge disappointment of not having the parents visit the classes this year due to the current restrictions the girls got to participate in a whole range of activities such as outdoor maths trails, broadcasts from maths TV and enjoy the fun and excitement of daily maths puzzles and activities. It has been a great week in promoting and encouraging us all to think positively about maths and simply seeing the fun we can have around it.
Maths Week 2019
Our celebration of the fourteenth Annual Maths Week began with gusto in our school on Monday morning with the visit of Roberta Bellini from the Rediscovery Centre to the 3rd and 4th Class and her workshop on maths and number. In total 26 parents visited classes to present maths related workshops and activities which went down a treat with the girls. All of the classes got to spend time in the hall enjoying traditional board games and interactive games on the Chrome Books and iPads. Once the weather improved after Monday's downpour, all the classes worked collaboratively on maths trails and there was a wonderful sound of laughter and fun as they did so. Thanks to all the commitment and support of pupils, teachers and parents, we had a great week all round as reflected in the images below.....
Special thanks again to all the parents who volunteered to visit classes as part of Maths Wthis week in week in promoting Maths in a fun and engaging way. You greatly added to the success of the whole week.

Maths Week 2018
A quick snapshot of a very special week..........
Day One
Today was the first day of our Maths week in school and what a great day it was too. It was amazing to witness the level of engagement from all the infants in the activities in the hall which centred around the paying of traditional board games and the added attraction of the Chrome books captured their interest and imaginations even further.
3rd and 4th Class got to enjoy a visit to Balckrock Library where they worked through a series of maths related questions and coding skills to create their own LED light bulbs which they got to keep and bring back to the school for us all to see.
The first group of eager parents were warmly welcomed into the different classes to present their 'fun related maths lesson which by all accounts went down so well with all those involved.

Day Two
Today was another great day for Maths week with the two First and Second classes getting to enjoy the fun activities and board games in the hall. Thanks also to the parents who came in today to visit classes and share some aspect of maths or number with the girls in a fun like manner. The girls loved having 'the new teachers' in their rooms.

Day Three
Today was another exciting day in school with maths related activities. The girls in 4th Class came up with a novel idea of creating their own work sheets to 'teach' the infants. Junior Infants Feileacáin loved having all the attention and time from the older girls and we all agreed the 4th class girls were excellent teachers!
Lots of classes made the most of the good weather to get outside and complete their maths trails and lots of fun was had with them. Thanks again to the next group of parents who visited classes today with number related fun activities which gave rise to great collaborative learning.
