Time to do some work
It’s your turn again. Design your own numeracy strategy by choosing from the options below. Download the worksheet to record your ideas. As always, you can skip ahead to the Assessment template and get started on this part right away.
For your assessment, you only need to focus on one numeracy strategy. We suggest that you use the tools below to create a broad numeracy strategy for your teaching programme for developing either number or measurement skills.
How to write your own strategy for number
- Choose one or two items from the box and then add your own context below.
- Write out a final draft summarising your strategy.
- If you need to, make any changes to ensure your strategy addresses the number skills you want to concentrate on.
I will: Teach my learners to use number to solve problems with a focus on…
| how to use additive strategies
how to use multiplicative strategies how to use proportional reasoning strategies strengthening number sequence knowledge strengthening place value knowledge strengthening number facts knowledge |
and | |
| in the context of… (add your own programme here) | ||
Here’s an example. I will:
- Teach my learners to use number to solve problems with a focus on how to use multiplicative strategies and strengthening number fact knowledge in the context of the New Zealand Certificate in Employment Skills.
There are more examples coming shortly. But we’ll have a look at how to write a strategy for measurement strategy next.
And don’t forget: for your assessment task you only need to write one strategy for literacy and one strategy for numeracy.
