“Our classes really enjoyed this kit. It gave them a chance to get outside of the class and explore maths concepts in a real context. The set of different pedometers also helped promote critical thinking amongst our learners and opened up a whole line of discussions and discovery that were unintended by us.”

“My class had such a fun time using this kit to help them try to walk the length of NZ. It worked well but we didn’t manage to get the length of NZ but had a lot of run trying. Thanks again for another amazing kit.”

“The level of engagement in this kit was fantastic, it enabled my children to have valuable conversations about maths and also provided a rich task that motivated them to get outdoors. We had some great discussions around the reliability of our data - especially when it came to different step counters. We had fun exploring our average stride length in different settings. Thanks for another great kit.”
“My students and I have loved this kit and found the task of devising a fair test for the pedometers was really cool and engaged the students heaps. We spent a lot of time during the unpacking of the kit and the task and during the busyness of Term 4 we are taking quite some time to the actual walking the steps part. We have set our selves up with the maths behind it, and the extra activities we can do to achieve our goal and are just confirming our walking event/date. Room 4 have absolutely loved this kit and it has fit in beautifully with our Athletics training. Thank you for yet another great kit, and we promise we are just about finished.”
