A small group of pupils at Green Oak Primary School in Godalming had a unique experience last week when they tackled the Jaguar Cars ‘Maths in Motion’ challenge. Using software to calibrate a virtual racing car, the children used their mathematical skills to work out calculations for optimum performance of their car. The children worked in small groups pooling their knowledge of multiplication, division, measuring and percentages. The session also provided an opportunity for development and practical application of ICT skills. The workshop culminated in a test race followed by an exciting Finale to determine the winner. The children were thrilled to try something new and one pupil commented at the end that he felt “more mathematical”.
This event took place with the kind support of Councillor Peter Martin and we extend our thanks to him for providing this unique opportunity to the school.
