🧮 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟕 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 | Our Year 7 Maths students have been exploring square numbers through the Building Thinking Classrooms approach, working collaboratively at whiteboards in randomly assigned groups to solve problems and share ideas.

Using number lines and their understanding of square numbers, students have been estimating the square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares, developing their problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and confidence in thinking critically.

Great work, Year 7! 👏📚
