A-Mazing Maths

On Wednesday 24 April 130 children took part in SATRO’s Fun Maths workshop at Loseley Fields Primary School .  Working in pairs or threes, the pupils were presented with a range of mathematical puzzles to solve within a time limit.  The variety and graded levels of the puzzles enabled pupils of all abilities to participate, including some special needs children.  Comments received from the pupils included:

“It made me want to do more maths!”    "That maths doesn't have to be boring to learn something"

The teachers were equally impressed with the new skills learnt by their pupils: teamwork, co-operation, perseverance, problem-solving, following instructions and reading a question carefully! 

SCC Councillor Steve Cosser very kindly donated funding towards these workshops.  The school was delighted to welcome Cllr Steve Cosser for a short visit to see the Year 6 pupils applying their mathematical skills in a practical way.
