Congratulations to the Penshurst and Hawkesdale/Macarthur U16 teams on their performance in the grand final at Lake Bolac on Saturday. We are coming up to AFL grand finals too soon, so it is a good time to look at some of the maths involved in football. Ian Lowe, from the Maths Association of Victoria, has produced a free resource for upper primary and lower secondary students, with lots of current pictures and maths problems. You can download the free resource at the MAV site. Year 7 students can access the booklet on the Student Public Drive: 6/7 Maths Folder. You can print it out (22 pages with lots of pictures) but I would prefer that you copy the word file onto your netbooks and complete the questions on your computer. When you have finished, rename the document with your name (eg. JamesAFL) and email me the file.
Grade 6 students will need to complete this survey about the 1:1 netbook trial and this literacy and numeracy survey.
