Primary Maths Workshop (KS1) for Schools
Maths workshop for primary schools
Introducing our Maths in a Box version workshop for KS1. This workshop was developed by an Aerospace Engineer to give young children a real-life insight in to real-life applications of mathematics. We have two different versions of this workshop to accommodate both Year 1 & Year 2 primary school students. It is perfect for maths activity days at schools.
We also provide KS2 maths workshops for Year 3, 4, 5 & 6, which you can explore here. Additionally, we provide secondary school maths workshops, which you can explore here.
Format
Primary: 3 sessions x 1 hr 30 mins or
2 sessions x 2 hrs 30 mins
(30 participants per session)

Day Itinerary*
1.5hr Version
- Practical - We will begin with the "Crack the Code" exercise. This exercise consists of a short theoretical maths quiz covering numbers, counting and shapes.
- Practical - Learn about mass and length by measuring KNEX model parts and build a bridge. This activity will also cover some basic engineering concepts.
Half-day Version
- Practical - The half-day version of the workshop will include Crack the Code and Bridge Building practical activities defined in the 1.5hr version above as well as the additional activities below.
- Practical - Learn directions with counting and a card game.
- Practical - Play a card game to learn about time and money and other mixed maths topics.
- Bonus Activity - If there is additional time we will do a short exercise to learn the properties of 3D shapes.
* The activities may vary on the day depending on the length of the sessions and the age and ability of the participants.
