Talented students attended maths day
Twenty Year 5 students from each of the primary schools in the Brisbane Water Learning Community participated in Gifted and Talented Students Day at the Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus on Tuesday, August 20.
Through active group challenges, students gained a better understanding of mathematical concepts such as prediction and probability, centre of gravity, biomechanics and measures of fitness including agility and speed.
As an example, students compared their speed with that of Usain Bolt.
Activities through the day included two fitness tests (long jump and sprinting), frisbee golf, measuring out - judging a mini athletics competition including shot put, flags, and relay.
