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.”

How did the kit components encourage mathematical thinking for your students? Considering the measurement aspect of things was quite cool for my class. We also were able to have mathematical conversations that gave me insight to their understanding without them necessarily realising that we were having them. We also had to consider different types of measurement units, which encouraged critical and creative thinking.
