Hands-on Maths Launch in Room 20

A group of students from Rooms 5,3,12 and 20 launch into catapults using recycled goods from home.

For this weeks Thurs-yay Maths session the challenge was to make a catapult using recycled goods from home. Although resources were limited the students created some fantastic catapults. This built onto their learning from Design Tech. Once constructed the students measured the distance an object flew using their catapult. They then had the challenge of measuring the angle of the most successful shot.  Time became an issue for some but all groups reached success. Great work team!
