Application of Number. Teaching and Learning.
Bove, Francis
This basic math skills teaching and learning guide contains practical advice and resources for British vocational teachers who have little formal mathematics education training and for beginning teachers. The document has five sections on these topics dealing with numeracy instruction: (1) overview of the basic skill and its application to other secondary education curricula; (2) two teaching models (discrete and integrated); (3) characteristics of students in application of number classes; (4) teaching techniques; and (5) assessment components. Throughout the guide there are tips, sample exercises, and suggested supplies for teachers to use in the classroom. A glossary of terms and a list of 18 resource organizations are included. Appended are an application of number grid; a list of resources for teaching numbers; a sample task sheet; common calculation difficulties; and mathematics and number websites. (AJ)
