As part of the math curriculum, Grade 8 students went on a field trip to “ **La Cité de la Science et de l’Industrie** ” in Paris on Friday, January 8th, 2010. The purpose of this trip is to expand the knowledge of the students and to broaden their understanding of our unit topic, which is Pythagoras’ theorem. Students attended a workshop called “** Grains d’Architectes **” to see how to apply mathematical laws, especially Pythagoras’ theorem, in constructions, and visited the "Mathematics" exhibition to answer  a questionnaire.

You can find below a permission slip for the field trip.

The Grade Four students prepared for and played World Maths Day on Tuesday 2nd, Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th March! The game started once it was 2nd March somewhere in the world and ended when it was the 3rd March! For people in Paris, it started at midday on Tuesday and ended at midnight on Thursday. This was a fun experience for the children who were online with sometimes over 80,000 other players in the world at one time!
 * **__March, 2nd__ : World Maths Day (grade 4, 6 & 7)**

Each child had their own log-in and password to have access to the 60 second games that involved the four operations, number patterns and the aim was to think quickly! Grade Four students played against students from 9-13 years of age and thoroughly enjoyed themselves both in class and at home.
