Fizzy Maths Fun

55 Year 5 children participated in our latest Fizzy Maths session which run regularly as part of our busy partnerships programme to boost maths learning in primary age children. These termly events have become part of the termly cycle of five local primaries; St John’s, Furzefield, Audley, St Francis and Marden Lodge.  The participating pupils have been working on their ‘Fizzy Maths’ resources packs this term at their schools and came into the library to work with 26 of our Fourth Year and Lower Sixth ‘Maths Ambassadors’ to develop their higher order thinking skills and problem solving with logic, mathematical techniques and a bit of trial and error.  The session was orchestrated by Caterham’s Mrs Griffiths and included a group of ‘Flying Ambassadors’ who went out to a school who were unable to make it to Caterham, but joined online.
