Read the captions for some of the slideshow photos below to learn more about how I taught various units from Mathematics. Students practised their mental mathematical skills in a fun way, using a ninja-style theme. They also created their own metre sticks while learning about measurement conversions. Our favourite was the Piet Mondrian artwork, which was used to practice area and perimeter.
