How will this course benefit you?
In this course Enhancing the Role of the Numeracy Coordinator we look at how Maths is integral to learning within all subjects and across the wider curriculum. We take a ‘deep dive’ with those who have responsibility for this essential element of curriculum planning into how the substance of the curriculum is enhanced through an in-depth focus on the importance of mathematical concepts across a range of subjects such as, geography, physics, chemistry, design technology, history and music.
We use specific examples and focus on the many opportunities for teachers across the curriculum to support learners to become unconsciously competent in their use of Maths skills in subjects other than Maths. The potential for learners to use their Maths skills to express ideas, analyse accurately, explain with examples and evaluate with explicit references leads to deeper understanding and to learning that sticks.
- Defining the roles and responsibilities of a Numeracy Co-ordinator or the individual responsible for maths as part of all learning
