Session 2 - November 22nd - Maths Around the World

Miss Hampson led a brilliant session on maths around the world.  The girls learnt the Chinese and Japanese method of multiplication, which proved to be fantastic multiplication strategies.  They then used these strategies to complete a 2 digit multiplication twirling top. 

After juice and the very popular cookies the girls enjoyed creating a variety of Chinese tangrams.  Miss Burns became very frustrated at not being able to create a cat, so Julieann stepped in to help! 

The girls also got creative designing Islamic Symmetrical patterns.  It was great fun to try different maths activities and to learn different methods of working out multiplications.
