This week four of our Year 5 children went to North Ealing Primary School to take part in a the A.I.M. High Maths Day. The event was hosted by one of the UK's leading maths specialists, Pete Hall, and consisted of a number of exciting mathematical challenges.

 

Each of our budding mathematicians really enjoyed the day and were keen to share their experience.

 

Charley

"At the maths day, I learnt many things that I haven't learnt yet. The teacher was really fun and gave us many tricky questions. We got stuck on a few but we tried and tried and we did it!"

 

Emily

"It was a fun day as we got to do loads of fun maths. It was a new experience for me which I really enjoyed. I particularly liked the trick maths that we did."

 

Serena

"At the maths day, we did lots of fun challenges such as magic squares, riddles and fun problem solving. The leader was funny and I enjoyed it a lot, We wrote on our whiteboards and learnt very tricky and fun puzzles. I liked the shape game we played where we had to make animals with shapes."

 

Bruno

"At the school, the teacher was really funny and showed us lots of different maths problems. We did magic squares, ordered shapes and solved many other equations. The questions were mind-boggling and very confusing which made everyone get the answers wrong...at first"

 

We are hopeful that this will be the first of many maths days and competitions this year for Fielding so watch this space.
