Maths in an Everyday Context P6

We know how important it is to use our Numeracy skills in an everyday context and with our current topic of Money we have had plenty of opportunity to link our learning to the real world. The class have brought in a whole range of shopping receipts and we have used this to not only devise our own set of questions,so also linking to our literacy outcomes but also  answering our peers questions using all 4 operations. We also had the opportunity to demonstrate our skills further as P6 both collected and counted the Children In Need Donations. We had a group of bankers that did an amazing job! I think we can all see how important Numeracy is in our everday life and just how many times we use Maths perhaps without even realising it!
