Maths Integration and Movement Composition

My grade 4 students were challenged to apply mental maths when creating a very short partner balance routine in last week's PE class. They had to refine and practice a number of partner balances during the first part of class. In the second part of class, they had to select 4 balances to be used in a 43-second routine. The challenge was to calculate time needed to hold the balance, as well as transition time required to complete their routine as close as possible to the 43rd and final second. It as a fun activity that really got them communicating, thinking, and problem solving. Simple in nature, but hopefully rich in learning! Please see video below of the routines.
