Daniel and Amy used their measure and shape skills to assemble the new rabbit hutches during @Natspec 's #MathsWeek. A very #MeaningfulMaths activity, particularly for the animals who now get to enjoy their new homes! 🐰
During #MathsWeek last week, Daniel took a stocktake of the animal feed. Daniel worked out how long each bag of feed would last for each animal, and how many day's feed was left. #meaningfulmaths @Natspec @Nat_Numeracy
It's @Natspec 's #MathsWeek! As part of a #MeaningfulMaths activity, learners here @PortlandCollege have been exploring how to make and use a compass using household items.
