Active Maths - perimeter

27th Feb 2026

Our Primary 5 pupils took their maths learning outdoors today for an active perimeter session! 

Working together, the boys and girls measured real-life objects around our school grounds, using their knowledge of length to calculate perimeter. From playground markings to outdoor areas, they explored maths in a practical, hands-on way.

Active learning like this helps make maths meaningful, builds teamwork, and shows that maths is all around us. Fantastic measuring, problem-solving and teamwork from everyone!
