Numeracy | Highcliffe School

Numeracy

Just another word for maths, or is it…….?


September 2012 saw the launch of our dedicated numeracy lessons at Highcliffe, these lessons incorporate many different skills required for cross curricular activities, the work place and life in general.

The first half term saw the students around the school grounds measuring and timing distances between the various curriculum areas and key points.  The students had to design signage that would be appropriate to use, these magnificent designs can be viewed in MA7.

As the second half term of the academic year sees the run up to Christmas, we decided that this would be an excellent time to include Numeracy, Christmas and REWARDS.  The students had to make all the Christmas decorations, place mats, and invitations for a party that they were then allowed to enjoy, all on a budget of £10.  Working as a team allowed them not only to keep within budget but to have a fun time on the last Numeracy lesson before the Christmas break.

At present, if you were to drop in to a Numeracy class, you will find the students building in 3D the bedroom that they have had to budget for and firstly scale draw in 2D.
