Following the success of last year’s event, we were delighted to once again welcome parents to Prep School for a ‘Learn Together’ Maths session. Parents were invited to join their children, from Reception Class through to Year 6, for a Maths lesson with their child’s Maths teacher.
Pupils were learning about a wide variety of mathematical topics, from finding fact families in Year 2 to using bar models for addition and subtraction in Year 3. Parents visiting Years 4 and 5 were able to explore fractions using Cuisenaire Rods, whilst children in Year 6 were introduced to visual algebra. The sessions were engaging and dynamic, with parents and children working together to solve problems. In some classes, there was standing room only!
Parents were very complimentary, commenting how lovely it was to see their children in a classroom environment, and interacting with the teacher and their peers. A few parents planned to do some follow-up activities that very evening at home, having collected some ideas for activities from the lesson. It was a very productive and enjoyable morning, benefitting parents and pupils alike.
