Children at Bill Quay, along with nearly 300,000 students from around the world, took part in 'World Maths Day' on 5th March 2008. This year World Maths Day broke the record and became the largest ever educational event! It's aim was to raise numeracy standards in a fun and meaningful way through children taken part in a global online maths challenge. The children united to set a world record in answering mental arithmetic questions in four categories: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
At Bill Quay we took the event even further and had a whole day of mathematical fun! All the children enjoyed maths activities that incorporated other areas of the curriculum such as art, outdoor games, design technology and literacy.
