“Children were so engaged in creating and competing their own world record. They barely noticed that they were also learning new mathematical skills and thinking. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to work collaboratively and develop new skills. Everything turned into a world record.”

“Clear instructions with this kit. There were plenty of times to use our imagination and come up with some wacky attempts. Unfortunately, we had some tough times with the flooding in Nelson which interrupted things. The paperwork provided gave the children really helpful steps in working their way through the process. We shared our work with our syndicate and as a result, had some challenges from children in other classes.”
