The document discusses the importance of enhancing numeracy across various subjects in education, emphasizing that numeracy is essential for life and requires consistent development from all teachers. It highlights effective teaching strategies, such as activity-based learning and real-life applications, to engage students and improve their numeracy skills. Additionally, it addresses the challenges teachers face in teaching numeracy and suggests methods for integrating it into different learning areas.

2. What is
NUMERACY?
• In this age of scientific and technological
innovations, being “numerate” is crucial
for engaging in various endeavors.
• the ability to access, use, interpret, and
communicate mathematical information
and ideas, in order to engage in and
manage the mathematics demands of a
range of situations in adult life (OECD,
2019)
• choose and use mathematics effectively in
its application to situations that arise in
their life at home, at work, and in the
community; and
• apply, evaluate, and communicate their
mathematical thinking.

4. NUMERACY across
Curriculum Areas
According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
(2013), numeracy is not perceived as easy to teach by most
teachers and many may feel that they need more support to
teach numeracy than literacy, perhaps, because they themselves
did not like math at school. However, to develop numeracy across
the curriculum provides opportunities for children to improve
their accuracy and learn how to interpret information.
Do you ever link numeracy to the activities you plan in your
subject area? Think how you could do this more and how you
can help support children’s learning in mathematics
Think about your current practice!

5. PRINCIPLES OF
NUMERACY
Principle I: Numeracy should be developed
consistently across different learning areas.
All teachers have a responsibility for promoting
numeracy subjects. Listed are some of the
strategies that show how numeracy concepts and
skills can be
applied in other subjects (United Nations Relief
and Works Agency, 2013):
Sequencing numbers and
dates to help learners see
why some events, such as
the start of a war, happened.
Making measurements,
collecting data, comparing,
and interpreting data,
graphs and diagrams,
estimation, logical
reasoning.
HISTORY SCIENCE
Reading and writing numbers,
time and
measurement concepts in
English in her Grade 4 English
class.

timing), geometry (shapes),

7. PRINCIPLES OF
NUMERACY
Principle II. Numeracy skills are built
through meaningful and fun-filled
activities.
According to studies, in a meaningful and fun-
filled context, children can acquire skills
without the pressure and fear of failure in
quite the same way as they might feel in a
more structured learning environment
Use of Real
Life Problems
Use Game-
based
Learning
Strategy
Encourage
Authentic
Tasks
Make it
Engaging and
Motivating

8. Activity-based
Learning (ABL)
You might want to consider in your lessons activity-based
learning or ABL that are meaningful and fun-filled. It
describes a
range of pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core
premises
include the requirement that learning should be based on
doing
some hands-on experiments and activities.
The idea of activity-based learning is rooted in the common
notion that children are active learners rather than passive
recipients of information. If a child is provided with the
opportunity to explore and an optimum learning
environment, learning becomes joyful and long-lasting.
Activity-Based Learning
A constructivist approach…

9. HOW TO DO IT?
To strengthen numeracy, you should create a
rich and supportive learning environment that
will support a skillful mix of a variety of
approaches.
Active learning
and planned,
purposeful play
Development
of problem-
solving
capabilities
Developing
mental
agility
Frequently
asking children to
explain their
thinking

10. HOW TO DO IT?
Use of relevant contexts and experiences
Using technology in appropriate and effective
ways
Building on principles of assessment is for learning
Both collaborative and independent learning
Making frequent links across the curriculum
Promoting interest and enthusiasm for numeracy
