“This prgramme was a really good way of teaching about how you have to measure something more than once and also making it fair and true. It was an excellent way to link to the olympic games also. Students loved parts of it.”

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? We integrated it with our social science focus on the olympic games.
“This kit was a great companion to our focus on the Olympics. The pretext was engaging, and children were highly engaged in developing their own world records, and motivated to measure and record these. They enjoyed discovering a range of quirky existing records. Unfortunately, the logistics to be able to carry this out for 24 individual records was not manageable with the demands of the wider curriculum. In hindsight, I would have been better having the children work in groups to develop records, so that we had 8-12 records to work through instead. The kit provided good opportunitites for integration, and was well resourced.”

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? Students were able to look into an investigation in groups. This way those students who were not so confident could learn from other students in the class. Students talked about measurement and athletics e.g. High Jump and Long Jump. Students could measure their distance with long Jump.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? statistics, An Olympics Day or afternoon,
“This Kit was very helpful to consolidate and support students' learning and understanding of statistics. This kit also provided students with a purpose and a greater understanding of measurement. Students were positive and had a great time with this learning. This kit enabled students to work with alll students in the class in a posiitive 'can do' attitude. it was also helpful as a lead-in to measurement.”

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? It fitted in well as we'd previously learned about time, and the measurement was interesting. As I couldn't observe inside and outside activities, we mainly stuck to the timed events.

“Engaging activities for the students, however in a hub with time constraints and not all teachers in hub signing up as asked it proved difficult. Students were keen but at Year 4/5 level it took a long time to move to the next phase and understand the why... they just wanted to try the challenges.”
