MATHLETICS

Hi everyone. Just a quick reminder that you need to bring back your form to let me know whether you are doing Mathletics or not, otherwise I won't know who to sign up, etc. There is a section on the form for you to tick if you aren't doing it at this time.

If you are, then that's great. Just bring the form and money back to school by Friday please.

Thanks everyone.

Mathletics Surprise

We are very excited in Rm 8 about... MATHLETICS! Everyone has shown enormous improvement in just 2 short weeks. I am really proud of all of you.

Because you have all worked so hard, we are allowed to stay on Mathletics and participate in the NZ Maths Week Challenge / Competition next week.

This is a fantastic opportunity and I will put a link to more information under maths on the sidebar.

We have some fantastic Mathletes in Rm 8 and I can't wait to see how they do when they compete against other students from around NZ.

Mathletics Reminder

You only have three days left on this! It's been fantastic to see the improvement in your number knowledge over such a short time! You need to make sure that you are adding the comments about your learning so that we can think about whether it is worth continuing with or not.

I have been so impressed that you have focussed on your learning and have not become too distracted by the avatars.

Mathletics Update #3

Couldn't resist!!! Have you seen our points??? I am so proud of all of you. Everyone is showing such a huge commitment to their learning. I see this every day and that is why your learning is leaping ahead. Have a look at the points and add your comments.

Keep up the awesome effort - it will really pay off; as it is already.

Mathletics Update #2

Congratulations! 27 of you have your first certificate this week.

The first one is bronze. I wonder if anyone will reach a silver - or even

a gold certificate?? There are a wee few of you who are close to silver.

I have changed the levels on some of the live challenges to give you

more of a challenge. Remember, don't go for the easiest ones - give yourselves

a challenge. You are very capable students!

CONGRATULATIONS MATHLETES!

WOW!!!!! We have 5 of you in the top 100 students! We are the top school in NZ and....... the top school in the world - how's that for determination and achievement, not to mention a very healthy dollop of competition.

A very big congratulations to Callum B who is 4th!! Callum H is 7th - do we sense a very strong competition here O Wise Ones??

Seriously though, this is just another example of your determination to succeed in your learning.

I have really enjoyed sharing your learning with you and your families so far. You should all feel very proud of your hard work.

I've added the Mathletics address to the Maths Sites links and I've also added the Mathletics blog under "Blogs We're Following".
