I saw no war in Warsaw Indiana

Today I kicked off my international classes with Mr Rick Glass's students at Warsaw Community School in Indiana USA.  The grade 4 students were very enthuasistic and came up with quite a few excellent ideas and solutions to some of the problems that I threw at them.  I introduced the students to my YES,NO and MAYBE game and this is where I get a chance to show the students how sneaky I can be.  While some fell like flies...  others hung around and were pretty difficult to catch out.  Thanks to Mr Glass for arranging the session.  I love seeing the children smile!  I think the students were quite amazed that I lived in a hut and rode a lion to school! (only kidding!!!) I'm looking forward to working with them again!

    My students will be talking about this for a long time. My student Aden wrote a great story about the event. Read his post on our blog. http://harrisonhuskies.blogspot.com/2012/02/living-maths-from-south-africa.html

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.
