Year 5 and 6 students adapted readily to the prescribed lessons posted via OneNote for remote learning. Routine lessons included regular number challenges, brain-teasers, Maths Olympiad practice questions, game-of-the-week and a re-vamped HOD’s window problem, as well as a mystery photograph of a campus location that features some kind of mathematics. Test your observation skills with the images below.
Students were able to submit their work for teacher comment and share answers with other students through the OneNote Collaboration pages. Answers were also provided for students’ self-correction.
Now that classes have resumed their regular face-to-face lessons, Maths Aspire students are hard at work preparing for the next round of Olympiad questions and conducting investigations into mathematical phenomena. Three of our advanced students recently spent time investigating the processes of solving, simplifying and factorising quadratic and binomial expressions and equations at a level way beyond primary mathematics. Included in their learning was a consolidation of associative, commutative and distributive laws and a revision of the properties of negative numbers.
How many of these locations can you identify and what maths can you observe?
