The document discusses ways to improve numeracy in five key areas: 1. Collaborating with leaders of other subject areas to identify areas of focus for numeracy. 2. Reorganizing modules in the scheme of learning to align with other curriculum areas. 3. Encouraging the use of mathematical vocabulary and identifying types of data and averages. 4. Helping students make connections between numeracy and other subject areas. 5. Finding quick ideas to improve numeracy skills through challenge and enjoyment.

2. Examples of what we’ve already done.
• Collaborate with leaders of other subject areas
to discuss areas of focus.
• Moved modules around on the scheme of
learning to coincide with other curriculum areas
• Sixth Form Helpers
• Display in APY’s room
• Maths Speed Up
• Student Voice

3. General Ideas
• Encourage the use of mathematical vocabulary;
“The ratio of milk to flour is 1:4.”
“What type of data is this?”
“Which average is most appropriate?”
• Let students know they have seen/will see the
topic in other CAs
• Problem Solving
• Get them to work out their own percentages
on progress trackers!

4. Use of W and E in marking

5. Encourage use of other subject knowledge
