Practical Numeracy

6th May 2016

Practical sessions within the core areas of numeracy help to concrete learning in a fun, interactive and relatable way.

A variety of apps on the iPad help to support a number of key aspects within numeracy. Pupils in Year 4 love to practice their times tables and beat their top scores!

Working in pairs, sharing ideas and carrying out activities such as taking the role of a shop keeper and customer enables us to put money based skills into practice, adding up totals and working out change.

Discussions in smalls groups can help to develop and expand our mathematical language as well as discover and learn new things, especially when we are exploring all the properties of 3D shapes.
