SOUTHFIELD PARK PRIMARY PREVAIL OVER PUZZLES!

120 Pupils from Years 3, 4 and 5 gained a new perspective on maths when they took part in a Fun Maths workshop.  The event took place on 17th October at Southfield Park Primary School in Epsom, led by a SATRO team of four.  The pupils had the opportunity to solve a range of mathematical tasks involving calculation, sequencing, pattern recognition and logical thinking.  A buzz of excitement developed as the children achieved success in solving more and more puzzles.  Pupils feedback comments included: “I felt like a genius” and “my brain is gonna pop because I know so many facts.”

This workshop encourages KS2 pupils to feel more confident about maths.  The teachers were delighted with the teamwork element in a competitive environment and commented: “Children learnt how to solve problems in pairs and were able to practise using their mathematical knowledge and vocabulary”. 
It all adds up to another successful event.
