Our whole-school assembly kicked off our Maths Week celebrations! We’re learning lots about the skills we need to become Numeracy Legends.
Our House Captains went head-to-head in an exciting Guess the Number challenge — and the competition was fierce!

We're getting toward the end of #mathsweek, and people have been putting in lots of effort. But, when you decide to do something, always give 100%. Unless you're giving blood...
Of course, soon the organisers and presenters will be suffering from the aftermath.

Today is the day that we walk from Dunsink Observatory to Broombridge and sing Happy Birthday to the quaternions.
I once bought a telepathic abacus for a friend's birthday. They didn't really like it, but it's the thought that counts.

While chatting to someone about #mathsweek, I was reminded that linguistics can be mathematical. A joke in that spirit:
A large class is learning about the importance of clear writing. The lecturer says "Be careful with double negatives; in English a double negative makes a positive." ...

Each year, #mathsweek is a few weeks after the equinox. So, this year some mathematicians were given the job of studying time. They started out by counting seconds. However, they quickly got bored and after 24 hours they called it a day. @diasdunsink.bsky.social
