“Opening the resource was like a Christmas present! The unit was easy to follow. Our class used the 'Results Board' in a different way to record challenge results (as I wasn't totally clear of how it was supposed to be used - made it work for my class). We didn't use the little pin medals but everything else was useful.”

“The students were so engaged with this kit as they love a bit of competition! It added to the measurement work we had done earlier in the year and was a great way to review measurement in a really fun way.”

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? For me this unit fitted in well with my Health and Physical Education and Technology planning. It ticked off the "Positive Attitudes"objectives in the Health and Physical Education by engaging students to participate in and create a variety of games and a

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? It was a wonderful hands on approach to teach in the area of geometry and measurement. In particular creating and useing appropriate units and devices to measure length, and time. Also, representing objects with drawings and models.

“I used this kit as a follow-up from the games. It provided an opportunity to reflect on what had happened, how successful participants were, and if they had an opportunity to participate what would they like to compete in.”

“I found this kit hard to use, I didn't understand how to introduce the idea of world records - I found a lot of resources on Twinkle to support the beginning of the unit so students understood world records. I needed more detail from the plans. I had a student teacher that tried to start the unit but he didn't get it either. I think because of the lack of understanding my students never got momentum and it never took off. I did try three different occasions and gave up. I have a Year 3/4 class - mostly Year 4 - I think it might be too hard for this age level :) It did fit nicely with our athletics :) Because I didn't use the kit correctly I am happy to return it to you :)”
