Room 9 Mathswell Comp

In Room 9 we did a mini Mathswell competition this week. 

We split into to 5 groups and we let the games begin.

There were 19 questions and they all had to do with fractions because this has been our term focus.

There were markers to check our questions and give us new ones when we got one correct.

If you get the question wrong then the marker will put a cross on the paper and send you back to your group with the same question. If you get two crosses on the paper then you would need to see the teacher so she can explain the question to you. 

The winners was the markers because they did a brilliant job of marking so put your hands together for Egan, Eliana, Sharna, Tino and Daniel!!!! 

But that doesn't mean that we all didn't do a great a job! 
We think that we are all winners because we are awesome MATHEMATICIANS!
