Dream Space LIVE: Maths Week | Primary & Post-Primary

Performers

Maths Week + Dream Space LIVE = A Fun, Educational, and Engaging Time!

Join the Dream Space Team for a free live virtual event celebrating Maths Week Ireland. Designed for upper primary and lower post-primary students, this 90-minute session will explore the maths hiding in everyday life, from the choices we make and the problems we solve, to the technology we use.

Students will take on quick challenges involving number, time, money, fractions, measures, patterns and logical thinking before putting their maths to work with MakeCode for micro:bit. Working in pairs, they will create, test and improve a simple maths-based coding project. No physical micro:bit or previous coding experience is needed, just one internet- connected device between two students.

Together we will see Maths at Work. Suitable for 5th/6th class and 1st year, Junior Cycle (ROI)/P7 to P9 (NI). 

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore everyday maths by recognising how concepts like time, money and measurement are part of daily life.
  • Experience maths as creative and enjoyable through hands-on problem solving activities.
  • Connect maths and coding by using MakeCode for micro bit to build simple projects that bring maths ideas to life.
  • Develop problem solving skills by taking on inclusive, engaging challenges that make maths accessible for all.
