Maths Week 2019 - an Escape Room, Maths Games, a Maths Scavenger Hunt and more!

Maths Week 2019 Escape Room 17 Oct P1100670
NEWS / 18 October 2019

Stratford celebrated Maths Week 2019 from 16th - 18th October. The TYs set up an Escape Room, a Maths Games morning and Maths Scavenger Hunt. All classes were involved in the activities. In Computer Studies classes, students learned about Alan Turing and his visionary work on universal computers, code-breaking during World War 2 and artificial intelligence.

A group of TYs organised an 'escape room' activity for the other year groups to do during Maths Week. The students had to complete multiple maths problems/riddles in order to unlock the box in which the key to get out was placed.

Everyone who took part really enjoyed the experience which consisted of team work and forcing their brains to think outside the box under extreme pressure with only 20 minutes on the clock to escape!!
