“Maths doesn’t have to be boring” – that’s the opinion of one South Holland primary school pupil who has been involved in a new project.
As part of an ongoing primary liaison programme to build links with the local community, the Sir John Gleed School in Spalding invited local primary schools to be part of the Primary Outreach Mathematics Project.
In the outreach, maths specialists assist in teaching Year 5 pupils.
A Sir John Gleed School spokesman said: “The aim of the project is to help engage pupils in mathematics, building on the excellent work that is already delivered in primary schools.”
The project has been running since September, and five local primary schools have become involved.
Children involved in the outreach have reported gaining new skills, being challenged and having fun.
The mathematics project will continue to run this year and next, with opportunities for more primary schools to become involved.
