INTEGRATE LITERACY

AND NUMERACY SKILLS IN

TEACHING?

refers to the capability one acquires in order to read, understand, and
construct textual material
LITERACY
• Is not just confined merely learning to read and write but it
also encompasses a range of more complex skills including

•Letting students to go
outside and observe
what are the street signs
that they can see and let
them identify its meaning
 Strategies:
•Conducting interviews in
the community about the
concepts.
 NUMERACY
•ability to understand and use
mathematical knowledge for
calculating problem solving,
and interpreting information
in order to arrive at educated
and well-informed decisions.
 NUMERACY ACROSS CURRICULUM
AREAS
•Principle 1:Numeracy
should be developed
consistently across different
areas of learning
 Goal:
•To promote numeracy in all
subject areas to provide
opportunities for students
to improve their accuracy
and learn how to interpret
 Strategies:
•History- sequencing
numbers and dates to help
learners see why some
events happened such as
the starts of a kind of war.
 Strategies:
•Science – making
measurements, collecting
data, comparing and
interpreting data, graphs
and diagrams
 Strategies:
•English – collecting and
interpreting data, graphs
and diagrams;
sequencing events of the
stories.
 Strategies:
•MAPEH- measurements,
practical activities.
 NUMERACY ACROSS CURRICULUM
AREAS
•Principle 2:Numeracy skills
are built through
meaningful and fun-filled
activities.
 Goal:
•To promote active and
purposeful kind of
learning through
numeracy.
Strategies:

• applying numeracy in a form of

game
• TLE subject, letting the students to
