Today Jake and I went to Prestatyn High school for a pupils who more talented in maths. When we arrived at the high school we walked along a long glass corridor and went up some stairs to our classroom. As we walked in there was a power point with pi games like say what you see. It was really fun and because Jake and I did this power point at Holywell High school we already knew the answers so it was really easy.
After that we started to talk about pi and the numbers in it (pi is 3. 149……….. all I know is it carries on forever)
About half an hour later we were learning about circles and the radius, diameter and the circumference.We had 4 circle objects (plate,bowl,glue lid) and we had to find the radius, diameter and the circumference.
It was quite hard because the bowl and plate were really slippy so our answers were not perfect :0
Around 10 o’clock our maths teacher got cookies off her desk. She said we needed to find the circumference,volume and diameter of a cookie or a packet of cookies.
Everybody said it was hard to concentrate because the cookie was making their mouth water. We also did maths with apple pies.We had to guess how many pies we would need to go round the circumference and the diameter.
At the end the teacher said we have been sooooooo good that we could have an apple pie or a cookie.
My favourite part was when we had to find the volume,diameter and circumference of the cookie because it was really fun and it smelt so good
