Maths Day- Year 5

8th March 2023

To begin with, Year 5 read the story 365 Penguins by Jean-Luc Fromental. After, we focussed on grouping the penguins from the story in groups of square and cube numbers which recapped over our previous learning of square and cube numbers earlier this term. We were given a date and told how many penguins there were. At times, we had to use our knowledge of days and months of the year to work out how many days there were for a specific date. We were challenged to find more than one way of grouping them by finding links between the square and cube numbers.
