I WAS FEELING GREAT at school on Monday, but the maths lesson after lunch soon put an end to that. I knew there’d be a test the next day.

Again I tried listening carefully to Ms Baker as she ran through the long multiplication equation on the board.

I scratched my head, looked around the room at everyone working on the calculation in their workbooks, then sank into my seat. I wished I could disappear, or at least fall into a daydream about swimming in the Torres Strait or dunking a basketball. But I was frozen.

Ms Baker surprised me when she put her hand on my shoulder. ‘How are you going, Patty?’

I looked up at her and said, ‘Yeah, all right.’

She glanced at my workbook. ‘You haven’t done any work yet?’

‘I’m just thinking it through,’ I told her.

‘Well you have a go and I’ll check where you’re up to in a few minutes.’

I looked at the equation again and started multiplying the numbers on the top of the sum by the ones on the bottom, but I couldn’t remember how Ms Baker carried the tens and hundreds.

When Ms Baker came towards me I tried to smile cheerfully at her. ‘It’s going fine now,’ I said, just as another student called her over. As she walked away, Tyson leaned over from the desk in front, eyed my page, and shook his head smugly at me.
