Maths Trip

On Wednesday our TY year group went to Rathbeggen Lakes in Dunshaughlin for a project maths trip. We were put into groups of four and were given a number of logical maths problems to solve using the equipment provided and the our surroundings. For example we had to use our knowledge of maths to measure the height of a pole. Some of the problems were easy but others really made you think. Our group did well, we solved five of the problems. The people who solved the most problems won a family day pass to the Rathbeggen Lakes Centre.

     After the Maths Trip we all went to Blanchardstown shopping centre for lunch and we also got an hour and a half to go around the shops, it was great fun and it was nice to see all of the Christmas Decorations!
