A: A bike shop owner who uses a lot maths and group of students who understand a lot more about bikes!

Last Monday morning seventeen Year 7s and their maths teacher went to the new MegaBike store in Blackwood and meet with owner Claude Alton. For the next hour the students heard all about how different gears help cyclists, why everyone’s bike has forks at an angle of 73° and what to do to set up your bike speedometer.

To help celebrate National Literacy and Numeracy Week you can see student presentations that have resulted from this excursion in the Blackwood MegaBike store, Main Road Blackwood (next to the Post Office) from 1 – 6 September.
