On Friday 22nd March, NHP celebrated International World Maths Day in style! ‘Maths around the world’ was the theme this year.
Reception explored tangrams, a Chinese puzzle consisting of a square cut into seven pieces, and used them to create a range of animals.
The children in the Lower and Middle School based their learning on the book ‘If the world were 100 people’ as a platform to apply their knowledge of number and statistics to real-life situations.
In the Upper School, we explored the philosophical question ‘Is maths a universal language?’ The children put their problem-solving skills to the test by working on number puzzles based around different scripts and playing a range of strategy-based games invented in different countries. We celebrated the diversity in our school by asking the children to teach each other how to count to ten in other languages.
I would like to thank all of the children for their enthusiasm and the fantastic work they produced, and to the teachers for delivering the sessions so passionately!
