  1. Embedded approaches to numeracy teaching

  2. Outcomes • Review your own views about mathematics • Identify principles of good practice in mathematics teaching and learning • Outline the requirements of the task for the minimum core • Signpost to resources on embedding and functional skills

  3. Your Experience of Mathematics In your group… Consider your experience of learning and using mathematics in school and continuing through your further education, training and work experience. Identify a learning experience that was… • good – and state why it was good • bad – and state why it was bad.

  4. Transmission to Connected

  5. Learning Maths is… • What do you think about this? • Do you use discussion and collaboration in teaching your specialist subject?

  6. Teaching elements of maths

  7. What does this approach look like? • Intro to Maths in Context • http://migrationstaging.bdpmedia.com/tlp/xcurricula/lmic/abouttheseresou/promovideo/index.html

  8. Your Context Compose a Spidergram that describes when learners use maths/numeracy on your courses. Note: • The topic from your curriculum • The maths needed

  9. Approaches Research has shown approaches that promote…. • activity learning • discussion and explanation of ideas • creating and solving each other’s questions • collaborative working... … all improve maths learning.

  10. Eight Principles (Swan 2006) 1. Build on the knowledge learners bring to sessions 2. Expose and discuss common misconceptions 3. Develop effective questioning 4. Use cooperative small group work 5. Emphasise methods rather than answers 6. Use rich collaborative tasks 7. Create connections between mathematical topics 8. Use technology in appropriate ways

  11. Your Task As a group… • Analyse the mathematical demands of a particular subject area • Produce at least one activity, with teaching notes, to develop numeracy skills relevant to this subject area (Produce a reflective account of the process(es) involved in embedding LLN within your particular subject area – this is needed for your CPPD module)
