“The kids enjoyed it. If we were to do it again we would spend more time looking at past world records and attempt those before attempting our own. They struggled to come up with measurable world record attempts.”

“Our class loved this. Lots of prior knowledge about world records - the olympics helped immensely. The kaupapa hit literacy - numeracy in one. The mahi covered around language - vocabulary - grammar was awesome feed in to building a world record statement. Completing and mastering eachothers world records was awesome! Mostly in the need to gather - steal each others badges once the record was bettered. Lots of competition especially for my boys. A kit that I will definately get again.”

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.
