Somehow I block out how manic teaching the practical side of measurement is between years so when it comes around again I'm all excited about it instead of dreading it. I do enjoy teaching these practical types of lessons but cringe when I think about the potential for bedlam with station activities and all the gear that needs set up, not to mention the water. This year was no exception and to cap it off I invited 12 four year olds to join us! At the end of the day it's the only way to give them a practical application for this maths and they enjoy it and eventually you'll forget all the bad parts and have solid meaningful data to use.
Something that I don't forget and never look forward to is the glut of assessment that befalls us at this end of the term. Needs must.
The holidays are now so close I can smell them, pity I wish I had another week of term to tie ends up nicely!
