Maths Week

We were wide eyed right from the beginning of the maths race. What a challenge....what pressure! It was pretty intense. In groups we had a runner, checker, reader and writer. Each group worked as a team. The runner had to run up grab a maths problem solving question, run back answer the question and give the answer to the judge. It was a nail biting time as we waited to find if the answer was right or wrong. We were exercising communication, risk taking, knowledgeable and caring individuals working together. Some of us found it a bit tough when we weren't in winning teams though, that's competition for you! However six of us were on winning teams. Mr Cavanagh was a great MC and Mr Lowe was the score keeper. Ms Wolbers was the marshal. Overall we all felt winners and thanks to the teachers for organising such a special event. Maths Week has shown that maths can be totally enjoyable more than what we thought it was. Maths is technology, science, our history and our future.
