How Can Mrs Madden’s classes Improve:

• Have our own Maths website that we could put all our videos like a maths dictionary .  The videos about the brain and how we learn.  This will be just for the Rm 23 class.  I want videos of us talking not just pictures. Jaymee and Ellie
• “Have Maths lessons longer in Rm 23.” Olivia and Jaymee
• “Make sure you don’t speak fast at times.” Pippa
