Support Literacy & Numeracy

Literacy helps students apply reading, writing, speaking and listening skills across a variety of subject areas.

• True

• False

Numeracy is the ability to understand and apply mathematical concepts, processes, and skills to solve problems and make decisions in a variety of situations, including real-life scenarios.

• True

• False

It is during the ______ and ______ that the early literacy and numeracy skills create a foundation for future reading and mathematical skill development.

The stages of learning early numeracy concepts are:

• emergent, perceptual, figurative, counting on

• emergent, figurative, counting on and facile

• perceptual, figurative, counting on and facile

• emergent, perceptual, figurative, counting on and facile

•Students who are working at the Emergent Stage of Learning in Numeracy:

• • May be able to identify and name some numerals (not consistently identify or name 0-10 or beyond)

• Can consistently reproduce the correct forward number sequence or backward number word sequence between 0 and 10

• •May be able to say some number words

  • May relate some counting words to the process of counting

• cannot count

•Learners in the Emergent Stage are working towards:

• Reading numbers,

  Identifying images and Identifying numerals

• Reading numbers

  and Counting

• Reading numbers

  Counting collections and

  Identifying numerals

• Counting collections,

  Identifying numerals and

  Labelling collections

At the Perceptual stage of Learning Numeracy, children are able to...(tick all that applies)

• to say some number words only

• Consistently apply the 1-1 principle of matching one number word to each object

• Demonstrate their understanding of the numerical value of a collection by counting and labelling collections from 1-10 and beyond

• Are able to count collections of objects they can see, touch or feel (rely on concrete representations of numbers)

When children are able to use their knowledge of forward and backward number word sequences to produce the number before and the number after a nominated number they are operating at the

• Emergent Stage

• Perceptual stage

• Figurative stage of learning numeracy

• Counting on Stage

Students learning at the Figurative Stage are

• Using counting on to solve addition tasks

• Using counting down to solve subtraction tasks

• Adding 2 collections of items

• Developing base 10 knowledge

Some strategies that can be used to improve Numeracy Skills include: (Tick all that applies)

• Math theory

• Math games

• timed testing

• repetition
