Teacher Notes
This is how the Time Challenge works:
If you want to take part in this competition, Ms Garlick will measure the time it takes you to answer a question. She will provide a timer on the board and when you finish answering the question, write the time. Go up to Ms Garlick to check you have the correct answer.
When starting a new question, Ms Garlick will start a new timer on the board.
Only questions that are completed in class will count towards the competition so Ms Garlick can verify time and answer. You are allowed to work in groups (time is assigned to everyone in the group that worked on the question.
Prizes:
Most questions correctly answered
Best time for each question
Most improved time (worst time - best time)
