Week 7 - MATHS RICH TASK
Here are the students peer assessing their board games. It's a great process for students to see their games through the eyes of a peer who knows how to play board games. A steep learning curve for some students.

Week 4's Learning
Tuakana / teina refers to the relationship between an older ( tuakana ) person and a younger ( teina ) person and is specific to teaching and learning in the Māori context. Within teaching and learning contexts, this can take a variety of forms: Peer to peer – teina teaches teina , tuakana teaches tuakana . Here is an example where Megan, Kate and Daisy helped the younger children in Room 11 with their painting. Well done girls!
