The Global Maths Twitter Task Challenge is a
great idea from
Classes from around the world can join in. The project will continue for the rest of 2015, and into 2016.
Questions are tweeted out using the #gmttc hashtag
(with the grade level added to the end).
Some classes have signed up to host the questions for their class level for a week, while other classes are just choosing to join in by answering the questions.
We were one of two classes hosting the questions for the week 21-25 September, using the tag #gmttc1
In B4 we like open-ended questions, where there might be more than one solution,
and we started the week with this tweet:
