As part of the P6 Numeracy topic of Area and Perimeter the P6s carried out some practical work measuring various objects and areas in the school.
They were posed the challenge of working out which was the largest corridor in school, the Mall or the KS2 corridor. The classes had to predict which they thought was the longest. 15 children in the class thought the Mall was longer, 7 thought the KS2 corridor was longer and 2 were not sure.
The children then worked in groups to work out which was the correct prediction using trundle wheels.
It turns out the KS2 corridor is the longest corridor in school... exact mesurements to be confirmed tomorrow!
The children all had to work out the length and width of their classroom and their desks.
It was a fun activity and the children really enjoyed answering the challenge.
