Maths Week- using the Active School Walkway
October 11th- 19th
During Maths Week, the children participated in a Maths Walkway Challenge. Classes had to locate two letters on each Walkway sign. Each letter was equal to a number. Once they figured out the corresponding numbers, they had to
ADD or MULTIPLY the two numbers and record their answers!
