• Maths Week Ireland 2026

  Fri 16 Oct 2026 Mrs Gill

  It’s Maths Week Ireland so what a great opportunity to give you a little glimpse of some of the Numeracy activities happening in the classrooms in Glasswater from Year 1 to Year 7.

  We always strive to make our pupils’ learning in Numeracy meaningful, relevant and fun! Giving them opportunities to explore mathematical concepts practically and working with their classmates can really help the children to understand and consolidate their learning.
