Mathematics outside the classroom

The Year 3.1 students have been learning about hours, minute and seconds.  To better understand how long a second or a minute is they had to do various activities.  For example:  They had to see how many times they could skip a rope, run around the garden and go up and down the stairs in one minute.  Such an activity was also linked to Physical Education.

After writing down their results, students had to compare them with a friend.  They realized that their results were different as is their agility when doing such activities.
