It’s that exciting time of year again — Maths Week 2025!
From October 11th to 19th, Scoil na mBuachaillí joined schools all across Ireland to celebrate the fun, creativity, and importance of mathematics in our everyday lives.
Maths Week is Ireland’s biggest celebration of maths and numeracy, promoting the idea that maths is for everyone — not just something we learn in class, but something we use every single day!
Throughout the week, all classes took part in a variety of exciting maths activities, including:
🔹 Maths stations with puzzles and problem-solving challenges
🔹 A Starburst data investigation
🔹 Fun online quizzes and games
🔹 Chess lessons, exploring logic, strategy, and mathematical thinking
🔹 The Ireland Rocks Times Tables Tournament, where pupils competed to test their times tables skills against schools across the country!
To celebrate Maths Week, Ms. Mac Auley (Maths Coordinator) and Mrs. Norma Harte (Principal) ordered new hands-on maths equipment for all classes to enjoy. These new resources help pupils explore mathematical ideas in an active, practical way — encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Hands-on maths equipment supports learning by:
✅ Making abstract concepts easier to understand
✅ Encouraging active participation and exploration
✅ Building confidence through discovery and play
✅ Helping pupils see how maths connects to real life
It was a fantastic week full of enthusiasm, teamwork, and creativity — proving that maths is not only useful but also great fun for everyone!
