How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? Students had to think about measurements - what was possible, likely or impossible. What measurement was most appropriate for their record. What mathematical language should be used to describe their record? Students had to use stopwatches/time telling to complete these activities. The importance of accuracy and clear instructions.

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? It integrated into all aspects of our curriculum.
“This resource arrived just in time to tie in nicely with our Connected Curriculum theme - The Olympics. The children loved the hands on/tangible parts of the learning. We were also very lucky as one of NZ Olympic athletes sibling is in my class so he had been in previously to talk to the children so they really had lots of buy in and enjoyed the kit immensly.”
