Do you know our website has support for teaching numeracy in languages?

It's important the numeracy activities are both age- and Stage-appropriate. For example, students in Stage 4 could explore activities in which they:

• - read a menu in the target language and calculate total costs, discounts and percentages, such as tipping
• - extract, interprets and comprehend a range of mathematical information in the target language from texts, tables, diagrams and graphs in a range of contexts, such as weather charts and transport timetables
• - create budgets and cost items in a foreign currency, such as shopping for souvenirs
• - applies knowledge of scale, distances and time zones to plan and budget an overseas travel itinerary.

​You can find sample numeracy activities for Stage 4 Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish (NEW!) on the Stages 4 and 5 section of our site. Scroll down the page to the 'Numeracy' heading.
