NUMERACY ACROSS THE CURRICULUM - LNF

WHAT IS IT?The National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) is a new statutory curriculum introduced in September 2013 for all learners aged 5 to 14. The main purpose of the LNF has been to help the children of Wales to develop excellent literacy and numeracy skills during their time at school. Schools will be expected to report annually on individual pupil’s progress, strengths and areas needing more support in literacy and numeracy to parents/carers as part of the annual report.WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE CHILDREN?The main purpose of the LNF is to make sure that the teaching of numeracy and literacy is embedded in all subjects across the curriculum, rather than just within specific lessons and that children are able to apply their knowledge.HOW CAN YOU HELP? It is important that children have opportunities to use numeracy and literacy in real life situations-not just to solve calculations. Money, measures, estimating, cooking, shopping, etc…..http://www.llangattock.powys.sch.uk/school-zones/parents/

LNF EXPECTATIONS

Numeracy levels from YR to Y6The LNF is organised into different areas of maths:• using number skills• using measuring skills• using data handling skills.Within each area the skills for each year group are identified.The following slides show some examples of the expectations in each year group.If children are able to use the skills for their year group across the curriculum, then they move onto the following year’s skill.

NATIONAL TESTS

Tests in reading and numeracy became statutory in May 2013 for children in Y2-Y6.This year Numerical Reasoning Tests are being introduced for the first time.There is a very small window in which these tests can be administered. ALL children are required to sit the tests and schools must report the results to Welsh Government and parents.

TEST EXAMPLES

TEST TIMETABLE

We have organised our school timetable as follows:

WEDNESDAY 7th MAYY2, 5 and 6 Reading Y3 and 4 Numeracy

THURSDAY 8th MAYY2, 5 and 6 Numeracy Y3 and 4 Reading

FRIDAY 9th MAYY2, 5 and 6 Numerical Reasoning

MONDAY 12th MAYY3 and 4 Numerical Reasoning

APPLICATION AND PROBLEM SOLVING

Children need opportunities to apply their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts to real life problems. There are many opportunities to do this in and around their home.

*Using food packages. If the packet holds 500g how many 50 g servings would you get?*You need a new carpet for the bedroom. If the carpet costs £27 per sq metre, how much would the carpet cost altogether?*Using TV guides/timetables etc*Pocket money. You have £2.50 pocket money each week. How long will it take to save for a …… which costs £18.00?*Planning a day out or holiday-Use information to find out how much it will cost altogether. Which is the cheapest/most expensive?

HOMEWORK

Homework Books

These books are challenging and reinforce ongoing mathematical concepts, giving children the opportunity to practise appropriate skills.Where possible it is important for children to have some adult support when completing their homework as this enables them to talk about their work and explain their thinking.There will be some things your child finds difficult, which you may feel unable to help them with. Please make a note of this in the book, for teachers to clarify with the pupils.

MATHS BADGESMaths badges are a great way to challenge and motivate children to learn and use their tables and related facts. Without a good recall of table facts children find other areas of maths difficult eg percentages/fractions etc.BADGES ARE NOT EVERYTHING!!

YELLOW- 2, 5 and 10 BLUE-3, 6 and 9RED-4 and 8GREEN- 7 and REVISIONCHALLENGE 1-50 mixed multiplication and division questions using all tablesCHALLENGE 2-30 mixed questions using brackets eg (2x7) -8= and division with remaindersCHALLENGE 3-Finding fractions of numbers 2/3 of 30, addition and subtraction of squared numbers, multiplying by 40, 200 etc.CHALLENGE 4-Addition and subtraction of 2 digit numbers eg 23+44=CHALLENGE 5-Equivalent fractions, cubed numbers, percentages, square roots, CHALLENGE 6-Measures eg How many mm in 6cm, 4.2cm ?
