Captain Sir Tom Moore Memorial Maths Challenge


30th April would have been the 101st birthday of Captain Sir Tom Moore, the WW2 veteran who raised so much money for NHS charities during the 2020 lockdown.

In memory of Captain Tom, the children at Swan Lane have today been undertaking a number of different maths challenges, all centred around the number 100.  Year 3's challenge related to coins and measurement.  The children had to lay 100 1p coins in a row and work out how long such a row of coins would be, and how much it was worth.  They then had to do the same with 2p and 5p coins, predicting whether the lines would be longer or shorter.
