What did you notice about student engagement in the learning with the DIY World Records Kit? I found that the students were really engaged. At times they didn't couldn't believe that they were doing Maths. Quote"; Are you sure this is actually maths?"; It was a great way to tie together maths, PE and team work. Overall great kit!!

“As a class we had a great time creating our own records and then competing for the world record title holder. It was a great programme for students to practice their measurement skills but to also create a world record that was achievable. It allowed students to design a record then practice it and then make changes were necessary. Fantastic learning was had.”

What did you notice about student engagement in the learning with the DIY World Records Kit? They liked the resources provided: timers &; measurement tapes. The cards etc were very eye catching so that already excited them. They like challenges and being able to ‘win’ something; even if it will be a first that they set their own world record.

“What is there to not love?! The kit provided relevant, creative and fun ways to teach a measurement unit and literacy too. We ended up doing a spontaneous EOTC trip to a local Whitewater Park to Kayak and have pre-created some records we’d like to beat or test. Thank you School Kit! The students of Room 8 have truly enjoyed themselves... (especially that student that set the record for: Most two hand paddles in 20 seconds - he threw his paddle away in utter joy that he beat the top one then realised he needed his paddle so he had to tip over to retrieve it haha).”
