This week at St. Clement’s it has been Maths Week with a special focus on Maths at Work. All classes have been learning more about how maths is used in different jobs. Year 3 have been lucky enough to have a visit from Graham who is the manager of a juice bar.

Graham came in to talk to the class about how he and his team use maths everyday when following recipes to make different juices.  Year 3 found out that it is vital for Graham to be able to measure accurately so that the juice his customers buy will always taste the same.

Graham and his team have to work hard to measure accurately because too much of one fruit can really change the taste of their juices.

Year 3 were surprised how much maths Graham uses in his job from estimating , measuring accurately, and using mental calculation strategies.

A big thank you to Graham for coming into school.
