Around the world in 60 Minutes

This morning I decided to test out my 3G card to ensure that I was able to make use of Skype in the class room.  While at Herzlia Constantia, I connected with Mrs Palupi and her grade 8's in Indonesia, Mrs Lin-Lin in Taiwan, Mr Graham Sharpe in England and Mr Vincent Mespoulet in France.  The children were absolutely fascinated with the clarity of the call.  Our next project will be to get children of a similar age to join us for a regular Living Maths Lesson.  Mr Mespoulet has offered us an opportunity to work with some French schools and I have a few teachers in other countries that cannot wait to get connected with South African students.

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.
