National Facts

According to the most recent Skills for Life survey, almost 17 million

people in the UK have numeracy skills below those needed for the

lowest grade at GCSE – for literacy the comparable figure is 5 million…

Students who enter secondary school with low numeracy skills but good

literacy skills are twice as likely to be excluded

Year 9-11 students who have poor numeracy skills are in three times as

likely to truant

65% of adult prisoners have numeracy skills at or below the level

expected of an 11-year-old.

Poor numeracy skills means you are twice as likely to be unemployed

Damaging effects of ‘I can’t do maths’

Television

Belief that numeracy isn’t important

Acceptable to be rubbish at maths and no

reason to improve their maths skills.

‘I can’t do maths’ is a self-fulfilling prophecy

Resources – Number Sense

It’s not about making your lesson a maths

lesson.

It’s about finding ways to make small

changes in order to help students with their

numeracy/number sense skills.

Impact Line

Impact lines focus on students number sense

and their understanding of directed

numbers.

Provide students with or allow the students

to create a list of advantages and

disadvantages, on a particular concept/

topic . The students then collaboratively

discuss which will have the largest positive

and negative impact.

As a challenge students should work out that

0 means the event has no impact at all on

the topic.

Battle Words

The idea is that students apply their knowledge of co-ordinates to remember and define key words.

Battle Words has two levels with easy being a one quadrant grid and hard being a four quadrant grid for

higher ability students.

Writing Weigh- In

Tackles students understanding of weight as well as

helping them apply VCOP to improve extended

writing task. This activity also gives students a chance to practise their addition skills.

The resource works on the basis the heavier the

assignment the more sophisticated the answer is.

Teachers should set a minimum weight for the

assignment, which can easily be differentiated for

groups of students. When setting the weight use kg

instead of g so pupils have to remember 1000g = 1kg.

Page 15: TMOxford Danielle bartram

Total Word Out

Students have to identify and total

key words from the lesson using

scrabble blocks. This activity allows

the students to think about higher

order and subject specific

terminology. It also allows students

chance to practice their addition

skills and finding average.

Connections

Connections allows students to take a journey

tailored specifically to their individual needs within

a lesson. A student can hop of the train and

continue attempt to master a skill when needed,

before catching the connection to the next station.

Students are required to work with time and

calculate how long their individual journey has

taken, how long they spent in stations and how

long they spent on the train. On a student’s arrival

at the final destination students should attempt to

complete an arrivals challenge.

Thermometer of Understanding

The Thermometer of Understanding

allows students a chance to rate

their learning more accurately

than a simple Red, Amber and

Green, (RAG). Students have to

think about directed numbers,

(positive and negative numbers), in

relation to their learning within the

lesson.
