“Awesome resource. We are just getting started but measured our steps today and worked out that different people have different length steps. We figured out that we will need a lot of people to help us.”

“This kit provided opportunities for deep learning. The discussions around which step-tracker was the most effective were highly engaging, and uncovered a number of student misconceptions [every student has the same step length, it doesn't matter what hand you wear a fitbit on...]
As a class we were very surprised by how long it took to go big distances. A LOT of steps were needed.
We loved the opportunities to think outside the box for step collection.
We made use of Google My Maps to look at comparisons of distance.
This kit gave me ideas to re-use every year (loved the idea of measuring and averaging step length and showing it tangibly with string.)
Thank you for the opportunity - this kit added enormous value to our Mathematics learning”

“It was interesting to see how competitive the students were, especially the boys. They all wanted to beat their mates in the number of steps they completed. Fantastic way to encourage exercise as well as maths and definitely co-operation. Thank you School Kit for making this happen.”

We travelled 342 kms in a day (from 8.30 am until 3pm).
“The students enjoyed tracking their steps for a day, but I think we would have been better off having pedometers for all rather than some of the other gadgets provided.”

“While it was disappointing that there was a delay in receiving this kit (which meant that we could not use it with our school cross country training as we had planned), the discussion and trial &; error of the equipment that occurred, by our students, was very valuable. They learnt that different counters were more fit for purpose than others (!) which is a fantastic lesson to learn. While we did not reach the number of steps that we would like to have reached - we did enjoy getting out and getting moving! Some of the pedometers are even having continued use within our classroom. Thank you!”
