MATHS - Liverpool Counts
Last year, our school successfully achieved the Gold Award Liverpool Counts Quality Mark, which aimed to promote a positive attitude towards maths and show how important maths is in school and at home. We achieved this thanks to the support of the children, parents/carers and teachers.
Have a look at all the different projects that we were involved in and we hope to be involved in similar events this year.
We love maths! Maths is fun!
We will update our website about how we use and learn maths, showing you the different learning activities from across the school. Click the links below to find out more.
