Year 4's Oakwood Fairground

To link with Y4's 'Fun of the Fair' topic, in maths, they have been designing their own fairground.

They have had to use a whole range of maths skills to complete the challenge in small groups. Using knowledge of area to design the layout of their rides and other buildings/shops/restaurants/toilets. Calculation skills to make sure they kept to their budget when building, and how much money it would cost to run the fairground.
This meant that they could work out their daily takings and profit/loss when running their fairground for a month.

All the groups did really well, and everyone managed to run their fairground for a profit...some more than others! Watch out Sir Alan Sugar/Richard Branson!!
