World Maths Day

On Wednesday March 25, MEPS students will join children from around the world in celebrating World Maths Day by taking part in a range of fun mathematical activities in their classrooms. 

From games and puzzles to challenges and creative problem-solving, it’s a wonderful opportunity for students to see how maths can be exciting, engaging and part of everyday life.

You might like to celebrate World Maths Day at home by :

• Playing a maths game – card, board or dice games are great for practising number skills and strategy.
• Competing in Live Mathletics Challenges if you are in Year 3-6. 
• Spotting maths in everyday life – while cooking or shopping, ask questions about counting, comparing, measuring and money.
• Making a family graph – survey your family (e.g. favourite fruit or sport) and create a simple tally or bar graph.
• Trying a puzzle – enjoy a Sudoku, number puzzle or logic challenge together or give this Magic Square Puzzle a try. There are 8 different solutions which include some reflections of each other which can be found by a Google search.
