The World Mathletics Maths Day was celebrated on Wednesday 23 March 2022. True to Summerhill spirit, we went big and celebrated it along with our termly Digi-Day, as well as our annual Maths Focus week.
The week was a great success! From interactive morning maths games, amazing and original dress up ideas, to high-scoring Live Mathletics games, and engaging digital lessons.
