On Friday the 15th March two
members from the Quantum theatre came into school to perform ‘Return To Planet
Calculus!’ The show, based on the mathematics
curriculum for Primary Schools, explored a variety of methods of mental
calculation through handling and manipulating data, looking at probability
scales and the mean, the mode and the median.
In Key Stage 1 the show explored the number system, number operations and the relationships between them, mental methods for simple calculation, and processing, representing and interpreting simple data.
Key Stage 2 covered the same topics but in more detail and used various methods for more complex calculations and drew conclusions from statistics and graphs.

The children agreed that the performance was:
enjoyable
exiting
very informative
amazing!!!
We asked
some children to tell us how much they liked it, Grace P, (year 6), thought
“the show was very educational and I enjoyed it very much”.
Niamh L
(year 5) felt “they were amazing actresses and I loved the performance!”
Thank you to
all parents who paid for the children to watch.
