Last week in Maths, instead of a test, Mr R gave us a Maths Rich Task to challenge us to apply our Mathematics understanding on area, perimeter and all four rules.  We were asked to design a new garden and patio area in school.  We were given a budget and, depending on the DIY shop we were asked to shop at, given different prices of items.  Using these prices and understanding of area and perimeter, we had to make sure that our garden designs stayed within budget.  We all really enjoyed the task and found it a fun way to apply our Maths skills and check whether we understood area, perimeter and all four calculation rules.
