Whole School Numeracy Policy

Numeracy Across The Curriculum

Where are you using numeracy in your subject?

o All staff should appreciate that they have a shared responsibility to teach numeracy regardless of subject discipline.

o All staff should be confident in a range of numeracy strategies.

o All students must be confident in using and applying a range of numeracy skills and strategies independently across the curriculum.

Here are a few subject specific examples:

Science - Standard form starter using planet dimensions

Geography - Rounding and estimation in the context of population density

Art - Identifying lines of symmetry

Art - Mixing paint in a ratio context

Food technology - Ratios in a recipe context

Food technology - Reading scales

English - Venn diagrams for comparing similarities and differences between texts

History - Data trends over time – describing the relationship

History - Timelines, sequencing data

Business Studies - Calculating percentages

Languages - Mental arithmetic questions in a foreign language

Technology - Produce an accurate scale drawing using a scale factor

Technology - Taking accurate measurements

How Many Triangles?

Numeracy Support

Aims of this Session

  • Students are practiced in ways of thinking that they have learned through Mathematics lessons
  • They can be quickly prompted into these ways of thinking with open questions.
  • Everyone can use mental methods if they can find numbers they are comfortable with.

To highlight aspects of numeracy that could be implimented across all subjects

To demonstrate where students are at each level so numeracy in your lessons can be aimed at the correct level

To give strategies to assist students in using correct numeracy in lessons

History and Numeracy

USEFUL RESOURCES

I'm sorry to say that the subject I most disliked was mathematics. I have thought about it. I think the reason was that mathematics leaves no room for argument. If you made a mistake, that was all there was to it.

Thank you for your time

‘An ‘at-homeness’ with numbers and an ability to cope with the mathematical demands of everyday life.’

Cockcroft report, 1982

…the ability to understand, interpret and present numerical data in a range of forms appropriate to different audiences select and apply numerical methods to problem solving

NCC Core Skills, 1990

‘…(an ability) to cope with the mathematical demands of other subjects, (without being) held back through lack of mathematical knowledge or poor basic skills.’

Ofsted – ‘Inspecting Subjects 11 – 18’, 1999

How Can I Implement this in my subject Area?

The Message

If students need to solve number problems in your lessons, support them to solve them mentally.

Don’t explain to them how you would do it straight away … encourage them to reflect on their own knowledge about numbers first.

Don’t hand them a calculator! (Plan your calculator use)

  • Be aware of overlaps in your scheme of work
  • Look for areas of your subject where numeracy naturally fits in
  • Use starters to embed numeracy
  • Project Work
  • Can you set a numeracy based learning objective?
  • Can you set a numeracy target?
  • Summative assessment
  • Be aware of misconceptions when teaching data handling topics

Numeracy and MFL

Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater.

Useful bits:

  • “Can you see numbers close to these that would be easier to deal with?”
  • “Would it be easier the other way round?”
  • “Could you break it up and work on the bits separately?”
  • “Could you use doubles or halves?”
  • “Can you see an easier problem with the same answer as this one?”
  • “Would it help to jot down a number half way?”
  • “Would it help to use a number line?”
