A wee refresher of #CPA in P6 yesterday. 7 weeks off has not impacted these P6s! They used the maths equipment with ease and also showed their understanding of using pictorial representations 👏🏼 🤩@KnightswoodP @NumberDen #SuperStars #Mathematicians

Our P7 ‘Mathematical Madness’ lunchtime club members were getting creative with spirolaterals 🌀 they used a number sequence to create a spirolateral and then used their creativity to decorate them! Highland cow, duck and Pikachu! @KnightswoodP #mathsinart

Ordering fractions outdoors! It was great to see P6 and P7 using different strategies to compare their fractions and put them in order. They impressed us with their area models, common denominators and use of fraction walls 👏🏼 @KnightswoodP @glasgowcounts

@KnightswoodP @glasgowcounts @MissERHarrold Amazing work P5a! 🤩

@Merryhillssch This looks like a fun way to measure angles 👍🏼

[Merryhills School @Merryhillssch]

Year 5 have been practicing measuring angles with protractors 😀#curiosity #collaboration #mathstrainsbrains #welovelearning

P5 took their fractions number talk out into the sunshine! We used sticks to mark three eighths on the number line. The bricks on the wall helped us to visualise the fractions. @KnightswoodP @glasgowcounts
