Maths Week Crime Scene

 

MATHS WEEK DAY 1

It’s Maths Week at Forres Sandle Manor. For Day 1, our Year 7s and 8s have been getting their mathematical brains around a CSI investigation. It was a great example of the application of Maths in a simulated real-life situation.

A staff member has committed a crime at Forres Sandle Manor School, and the pupils had been brought in as Crime Scene Investigators.

They have analysed the evidence left behind to eliminate the suspects one by one until the actual criminal was revealed.

Year 5 & Year 6 took part in our annual Chicken Wire activity where they created a variety of sculptures from birds, to dolphins, to lizards, to hearts, and many more fantastic things. They followed the instructions and used great independence and resilience to produce some quite incredible structures.

Year 7 continued the hunt for the criminal as they solved the many problems left behind by the crook. They used a variety of skills such as ratio, fractions and percentages to eliminate each suspect one by one.
