“Sorry to say this but I just gave up! I have not been in the classroom as I have been off sick since February. I had some correspondence with you but we never received the kit at school? As there was a reliever in the classroom I didn't push her to do any lessons as she continued with her own programme. I plan to be back in the classroom for term 3. If the kts can be sent before the beginning of term 3 I will ensure I teach it.”

“My class has really enjoyed creating their own world records. They have made lots of different records to achieve. We are currently going through the records a few at a time and awarding badges and banners.”

“This was an awesome kit and the student really enjoyed creating then competing to obtain the world records. We learnt a lot about measurement, timing and also being unbiased in tracking and completing for the records. Would recommend for all to do this kits.”

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? My students learned that time feels different depending on what you're doing eg 30 seconds sitting silently feels different to 30 seconds eating chocolate. They learned that you need to choose the correct way to measure something, and the correct unit.

“My class have never been so excited to do math! I needed to really simplify the content for my Year 1/2 class. I generated the world records for my students to speed up the process, I can see how the kit as written would be great for further up the school. One thing I would change is the badges - we went for Olympic styles with a limited number of challenges, so I would have got more use out of multiple badges with 1, 2, 3 on them.”

“Some of our things arrived broken which was a shame. As we are a large cohort we had to try and fairly divide the sent products with the printed ones. The materials gained engagement but there was not enough in our pack.”
