Stanford Math Course

By Anonymous -
For the past term we have been taking a Stanford math course which helps us understand math and why we use it. Here is what we learnt.


- Having a growth mindset toward math is very important because if you get a math equation wrong then we should never give up and always keep on trying because struggle helps our brain grow.

- Math is every where in nature, dance, sport, animals we don't notice how important math can be.

- People say that you are either a math person or not but this is not true at all because even if you are not as good at math everyone can improve and become more confident in math.

- When it comes to math speed doesn't matter because some of the best mathematicians are slow and take their time working math out.

- It is important to communicate with others and share ideas and answers because if there is something you don't understand then by communicating with others they can help you understand what you are struggling with.

There is a lot more important ideas that was shared in the course but for me these are the most important. This course has helped me a lot because it has taught me some really important points to help me learn.


Have you ever done the course or heard of it?

This week we got to draw a piece of paper out of a box and that would have a random country on it. With that country you had to do some research about it and write some instructions on a skill or game from that country. Next week we will be picking a type of food and making it then bringing it to school so there will be a whole assortment of food for everyone to try from all over the world but I will only be sharing my instructions maybe next week will be about the food. :) Here is my instructions on how to play Hul Gul: How to play Dutch Hul Gul Materials: *Buttons or any large quantity of small objects. *People to play with ( Any amount of people except by yourself) Gather buttons Give each player 10 buttons Each player places any amount of buttons up to 10 in their hand. Player 1 then holds out their hand face down with the buttons in hand so the other player(s) can’t see. Player 1 now asks another player (Player 2) how many buttons do I have in my hand.

Cross Country

Last week on Thursday my school had cross country. In my age group the year 8s had to run 3km and I came 5th which means I will be going to zones. At 9:00 am the whole school walked down to Walter park to start running, first was the year 8 boys and we finished with the year 6 girls. Everyone ran really well and tried their best I had a lot of fun running and cheering people on. After everyone was super tired and exhausted. Have you ever done cross country if you have how did you do?

For the last few weeks every Thursday we have been rotating between 4 sports in our home base's: Cricket, Lawn Bowls, Softball and Korfball. Korfball is a new sport to most of us in class and it is a bit like netball but with a few different rules during game. In Korfball instead the hoops were plastic and taller than the usual hoops. My home base has done all of them except Lawn Bowls and in our next rotation we will be doing that. Have you ever played Korfball before?
