Maths made fun for College pupils
A special day was set aside to enable pupils to experience the application of maths to solve problems and apply their knowledge and understanding to logic.
The pupils spent the day working in different groups to solve various mathematical problems such as using 2D shapes to make a football, using ICT to complete logic problems and solving a range of puzzles.

The afternoon consisted of mathematical problem solving relay races and a table quiz.
A spokesperson said: “The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the various activities, developing their communication and social skills by working in teams, but also to under-pin their mathematical knowledge.”
