How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? The hourglasses and measuring tapes helped students grasp mathematical concepts by allowing them to measure time and distance hands-on, making abstract ideas like duration and units more concrete and engaging. These tools encouraged problem-solving and real-world application of math skills.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? English, health, maths, PE - linking back to other activities, understanding that subjects/learning isn't often actioned in isolation.
“This was a fun, creative way of exploring records and learning about persistence and effort. Great links to English and tied in nicely with timing of the Olympic games. Unfortunately, my class didn't engage the way I hoped they would; they didn't buy into it as much.”
