Today the children in Chestnut Class enjoyed a Maths morning based around how Maths is used in aviation. To start the morning off, the children enjoyed learning about how different members of our community use Maths in their everyday work. Then the children made paper aeroplanes out of different sized pieces of card. Next, we were off to the hall to throw each plane 3 times and to measure how far they managed to travel. Once back in class, we used calculators to find the mean of our data and then presented our results in a line graph. We then analysed our data to conclude the best size and features of a paper aeroplane for travelling the furthest distance.
