Maths Challenge Day 'X-Maths'















Year 2 had great fun on maths challenge day. This term it had a Christmas theme and was called X-Maths. Some of us thought that the X stood for times tables but some of us knew that it meant 'Xmas' which is short for Christmas.

First of all we had to make up some Christmas word problems with a partner and share them with the rest of the class to solve. We came up with some excellent problems. Then we went into the hall where there were some hidden Christmas puddings. On the back of each Christmas pudding was a question which we had to solve with our group. Then we did some number games using the parachute.

Back in class we made some 3D star models which were a little tricky but looked great once they were done. It was good practice for our cutting skills!

We have also been rehearsing for our play. I hope you like the picture of all of us in our costumes.

Have a good weekend,

Mr. Merchant and the Year 2 team
