Observational Data:

The students were animated and engaged. There was lots of laughter and fun. I learned how to say the learning habits in Maori from a student.

Comparing the data with the data from my Masters in 2015.

• The intervention was with students who already love mathematics.
• This data is from a year 9 class which has trouble keeping on task.
• The "Z-rating" is not so relevant because their mathematics class is far from normal.
• This data suggests I am on the right track in my pursuit of productive play based learning.

Interesting:

• The level of challenge is low, but the engagement is high.

Question:

• Do we make math too hard, and undermine students confidence.
