"Numbers in the News" is a new display in the maths classroom and it does exactly does what it says on the tin! Any news stories which highlight the importance of maths or numbers in everyday life will make it onto the display. One current story reports the 10th birthday of Google. Did you know that when you 'google' something the web pages are ranked according to a mathematical formula devised by its creators? Stick in at your maths and you could set up a company that makes $4 billion dollars in a year! See the full story here.
Please e-mail any similar stories you may have to ac@cedars.inverclyde.sch.uk.
Alternatively, pupils can bring newspaper or magazine cuttings to put up on the display. A house brick will be awarded for any story that makes it onto the wall!
Thanks to Chloe of S1 for pointing us to the display.
