Reading, Writing and Mathematics are birds of a feather and they flock together.

Have you ever heard the expression "birds of a feather, flock together" before? Well it simply means that people who think and feel the same way, will most likely become friends and spend time together.

At our school, we have to read our mathematical problems in order to solve them. This is great as it encourages us to think, talk and then decide how we will solve the problem. Here is an example of a problem solving question; 

We go to the ice cream parlour and buy 17 ‘triple scoop’ ice creams.

How many scoops of ice cream is that altogether?

In our library, we have loads of books that we could sit and read that relate to Mathematics.

I challenge you to visit our library and read these books!
