Measuring in athletics - linking with Maths

During athletics lessons this week students have been involved in measuring their performances, which links in with their maths activities. Kindergarten students have been working out different ways to measure the distance of their throws and jumps. This has included counting steps, counting how many cones they jumped past and timing each with an iPad as they ran the hurdles. 



They even compared their jump with how far a Praying Mantis can jump.

Students in G2 and 3 have been taking measurement to a more formal stage, and using recording sheets so that they can then take the data with them back to use in their maths lessons.
