*** Maths Week Ireland 2026 ***

What a fantastic Maths Week we enjoyed at Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum!

Our pupils took part in a wide range of engaging and practical numeracy activities throughout the week. 

P1/P2 students enjoyed a numeracy scavenger hunt, while P3 took their maths learning outdoors through a Forest School classification lesson.

P4/P5 explored maths through games including 24, Pig and Place Value Battles. They also became Dahlia Detectives, investigating flowers from Mr Doyle's garden by estimating and counting petals, measuring and comparing sizes, creating human graphs and designing posters about their favourite numbers.

P5/P6 worked together on a giant outdoor Jumping Maze challenge, developing their problem-solving, teamwork and perseverance skills as they searched for the route to the centre.

P7 pupils took part in interactive maths games, a dice challenge requiring them to reach a target of 100, problem-solving puzzles, favourite number posters and a numeracy hunt. They also applied their understanding of negative numbers by ordering temperatures on a number line.

From scavenger hunts and outdoor investigations to puzzles, games and challenges, our pupils discovered that maths really is everywhere!
