Maths Legends

Who was the coolest mathematician ever?

Could it have been Pythagoras, Archimedes, or Eratosthenes?

What were their claims to fame? How have they influenced our world through their discoveries or theories? Do they have a particular thing they are renowned for?

Pick your favourite and say why :-)

MATHS [non]Homework

to be done at school...you may think about it at home, discuss it, work out what you need to find out to be able to answer it at school, with a partner....
in other words - it's not homework.
well, not really.

At the school swimming sports Roo, Sebtastic, Courtorama and Brainyda completed in the fifty metres freestyle heat.

Roo came first with a time of 40.395 seconds.

Brainyda came second, Courtorama came third and Sebtastic pulled a hammy and came fourth.

In the next heat, Mojo finished with a time 27 hundredths of a second slower than Roo.

What was his time? ____________

And why was Mr Woody not there...?

This is to backup what is being learnt and covered in class. You can find extra homework here if your parents want it. You can revise issues covered in class if you didn't understand. You can do it for fun if you really love maths.
