Despite Hurricane Ophelia. Maths Week (18th - 20th October) was celebrated in class, during form time and around the school. EU Code Week (also the same week) was celebrated in an "unplugged" manner - no computers needed!

Stratford celebrated Maths Week (18th - 20th October). It's aim is for students to develop a more positive attitude towards maths and to demonstrate to students that maths is not just found in a maths lesson in school but rather that maths is all around us!

On the Maths notice board were Sudoku puzzles for students to try -  they were pinned up and students are welcome to take one. Also there was a sheet for students to write down where they come across maths (numeracy) in other subjects. 

Class tutors told their classes about sudokus, maths in subjects worksheet and a maths challenge on the Maths notice board. Anyone that completes them, may get a merit! 

Also, during the 2nd class on Friday TY held a Maths Puzzles Escape Room Challenge.  Keep an eye out for maths quotes and jokes on the walls!

Math. "The only place where someone buys 64 watermelons and no one wonders why!"
"It's not that I am smart, it is just that I stay with problems for longer"
