Maths in the real world!

In Year 5, we realise that real life maths is very important! Have a look at what we have been upto this term during our 'Measurement' unit.

We took our maths lesson into Liverpool City Centre where we met with the head of Mersey Travel. We looked at the train timetables and mapped out each journey, using our time skills to estimate our arrival at varies stations throughout the city.

Attendance is very important at Faith and Year 5 have gone above and beyond to keep our data sky high! For our 'Statistics' unit, we used our school data to practically create a class line graph that compared the schools attendance over the past two years.

We love linking maths to different lessons! During our Titanic topic in English, we re-designed the Titanic to ensure that it would not sink! We realised that working out the diameter of each room using our area and perimeter knowledge was vital. Have a look at our Titanic maths work:
