Childrens Views
  • I like Active Maths because you get to play
    football.
  • It keeps your brain fit.
  • One thing I like about Active Maths is that its
    fun!
  • The stations are fun and it is a fun way of
    learning about maths.
  • The stations are about different things.

Childrens Views
  • We started Active Maths when we were in primary
    four. Mrs Smith runs Active Maths. We like the
    independent stations because they are so much
    fun, where as the taught stations are more boring
    because you have a teacher there. Most people
    love independent groups.
  • Active Maths helps you learn better and is
    better than reading a textbook or just sitting at
    a desk.
  • We would recommend it to other schools!
  • By Daniella-Jane and Rebecca, Primary 5a
