Dress-Up for Digits Day

 

Today we launched Maths Week Ireland by hosting a 'Dress-Up for Digits' Day, a non-uniform day with a Maths twist.  Pupils have been invited to come dressed with a number, symbol on shape on their jumper, hats, socks etc or wear their most colourful, patterned or 'mathsy' outfit.

 

Lots of Mathematical learning and fun to look forward to this week in St. Joseph's - more photos to follow.
