What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? Dissapointing that you can't put true answers on here because you don't let people put not likely and very low.
“I found this hard. The kids struggled to put together challenges that reflected the expectations. We never ran our own olympics as it never came together. I found it not as easy to get going as the other units you have made.”

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? The tape measures were well used to measure distances - talked about converting between different units and decimal units for part measures. Thinking about what was best unit to use. Statistical thinking about how to collect data and compare, wondering about different age groups, number of trials etc.

“This kit engaged most students as there was lots of autonomy- choosing their own crazy records to test and students could follow their interests. The timing worked well with the Olympics on and world records being set. There was scope for students to take on different roles such as record attempter, timer , verifier etc. so everyone got involved. It was fun and promoted friendly competition and encouragement of each other.”

“A perfect kit to compliment our unit on The Olympics. It was fantastice to see the students making their own worls record and using the formula was easy for my ESOL students to understand. Great lot of resources to support as well (timers, measuring tapes).”
