The Viking's Quest Workshop Description
A mixture of myth and maths from the North!
Numbers, shapes and co-ordinates were all important to the Vikings – as your pupils will discover when "Hagar the Hunter" turns up in your school. He’s been travelling for centuries – seeking help from anyone he meets. Because it won’t be till he cracks the Riddle of the Runes that he can release his village’s children from the clutches of a mighty dragon. By taking part in a series of interactive challenges, your children will be able to help him – but they’ll need to use all their problem solving skills!
Exploring: both additive and multiplicative reasoning, number patterns, fractions, percentages, measurement, positional language.
