I know you haven't started yet and that's cool, but I couldn't help but read this blog of yours! It is similar to Zain's. You might not know but I am a teacher in Mangere, and it makes me really happy to hear so many students worried that we're not doing as well as some other countries in maths. <br /><br />I love maths and think it is really important for developing our learning and problem solving skills. Plus I love challenges and it alway challenges me. Some people might say we don't use maths a lot in real life, but we really do. Especially if we're in important jobs like engineering or science, and especially in finance, building, or other trades. My Step-Dad always says "measure twice and cut once" because his maths isn't very strong, and that's a good way to be for a builder. <br /><br />Anyway I just wanted to say that. It would be really cool to see you apply this depth of thought to our summer learning journey over the holidays. <br /><br />Tino Pai, <br /><br /><br />MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159326208425052391noreply@blogger.com
