Eld Park Students Celebrate Number Day

Friday 7th February marked the 25th anniversary of the NSPCC’s Number Day.

 

Eld Park students supported the day by taking part in different activities that celebrate children’s day-to-day use of numbers.

 

As a part of the day, maths teacher, Phil Maplesden composed a number of riddles for the children to solve. The riddles were designed to test the skills of students and were tricky to work out. For example: “Tom said that, in two years, his age would be twice as old as he was exactly five years ago. What is Tom’s age now?” (Answer: 12)

 

Well done to the students and many thanks to Phil for writing the riddles.
