Maths Pirates NZ - Goes GUERRILLA
Guerilla Thursday! - The day Maths Pirates walk to their local library.
Whilst walking, Maths Pirates explore and connect with their community looking for mathematical knowledge and symbols lost or misplaced.
On Thursday 13th February 2014, Maths Pirates were looking for the number 398.
The number 398 was found, on the community climbing frame by Orlando!
As you can see from the image, the transformation from lost to found was excitement of EPIC proportions!
