Maths Week

"Hurray! I got it correct!" I say excitedly. This week was Maths Week! At school, everyday on Math Week, we had a challenge. The challenges were, how long does it take for Mrs Waters take to get to school, how high Mr Gordon can jump, how far Miss Bateman can throw a tennis ball, how many grapes in a kilogram and how many jellybeans in a jar. Everyday, there was also an Olympic Maths Week Challenge about a New Zealand Olympic competitor. My favourite morning challenge was how high Mr Gordon could jump. Mr Gordon is approximately 1.9 metres tall. How high do you think he can jump with his hand up? Well, he jumped 2.73 metres high! Yes, 2.73 metres high! At the end of the week we had to give in a Maths Week homework challenge, which was either a poster, counting book for the Juniors or a board game. I made a counting book. On the title, the word 'counting' was pop-up. I also included a penguin playing on each page for the Juniors to find. Maths Week was a very fun week full of fun and challenges!
