P6/7 Maths Week

15th Oct 2019

As part of ‘Maths Week Ireland’ the P6/7 class were making the most of the dry weather today to create some new mathematical questions using the Ancient Mayan Number System. They discovered that the Mayan Number System used a combination of base 5 and base 20 rather than our system of base 10 which made creating numbers much more difficult. They had the opportunity to create new questions in the playground for other P6/7 pupils to answer. They all agree that it is significantly easier to use our Base 10 system!
