New Jersey in USA - great to connect with you

Once again I had the privilege of teaching one of Ms Carlene Andesen's classes in Paterson New Jersey, USA.  Her grade 3's were just so excited and they asked such wonderful questions about South Africa and our history.  When it came to the brainteasers, they were on top form.  It was such a joy to watch the students using their problem solving skills to tackle my sneaky and tricky teasers.  I bet they will try and catch their parents out when they get home today!  The connection was great like the last time and there were no issues with the sound and this allowed us to get through quite a bit.  We ended off with a cool magic trick where a R10 note (equivalent to just a little over one dollar) was torn in font of the students and then magically it was reparied in font of their eyes.  I look forward to hearing fom the students how the trick was done;-)

Welcome to 2022

 A new year quickly follows on from the challenges of 2021.   These challenges are often unpredictable (like new variants) and responses by various governments (levels of lockdown and how much travel is permitted).  It sadly affects education in ways that are incredibly challenging to measure.  The goal is to make sure that we are kind to those around us and we must make every effort to work collectively to bring about positive change for all. Visit our brand new website on www.livingmaths.com and you will see how we have evolved to meet the new challenges and offer innovative solutions. We look forward to working with you.
