cantamath!

Talofa lava everyone and welcome back to my blog. This week for maths i did cantamath again.  This week in cantamath it was a bit different from last week. This week we were doing individual  cantamath where we had to solve all the questions our selves. 

Here is a bit about what we do and how it is:

How it is:

For the last couple of weeks I have been doing cantamath. Cantamath is where you get given challenging math questions and you are racing a bunch of different teams to get all the maths questions right the fastest. 

When we first started doing cantamath, I wasn't that interested in it. But after doing it for a while it's not too bad. 

This week we tried out individual teams and I think I didn't do too bad. Overall I am enjoying cantamath and I don't think i'm doing too bad seeing this is my first ever year doing it. 

Thank you for looking at my blog. Would you ever try cantamath?
