If you didnt get to tune into the RTE Classroom Hub yesterday, it is well worth a watch. Yesterday, involved map work for the younger children, 2-D, 3 -D shapes and symmetry for the middle end of the school and beautifully spoken Gaeilge for the senior end, all topped off with a bit of Science!

Our activity for today, takes inspiration from the Maths class on RTE yesterday.
Junior Activity
Maths all around me at home . Find some 3D shapes in your home.
Senior Activity – we stick with the topic of Maths and this time send the senior end of the school on a ‘Scavenger Weight Hunt’
This works like so:
Maths Games- Weight
In your kitchen, look for as many ingredients that you can find that have grams (g) or kilograms (kg) and take them out of the press- (take a picture with yourself and the ingredients as proofJ)
- Order them from lightest to heaviest
- On the worksheet provided rename 5-6 items, for example if a bag of flour is 2kg you will rename it to 2000g or if something is 250g you will rename it to 0.250kg
- Add up all your items what is the total weight?
- What is the average weight of the ingredients you found in the kitchen?
- Multiply the heaviest item by the lightest item.
- Divide the lightest item into the heaviest item
