Element 3 - Identify the literacy demands of the training or education programme./Suggested teaching and learning activity 2

Mapping activity

(see “Knowing the demands” in Teaching Adults To Make Sense of Number or any of the other resource books in this series)

Purpose: to map a text to one or more strands or progressions of the learning progressions. Choose an on-the-job activity in your work context then work in groups (using the numeracy strands of the learning progressions) to identify and map the underpinning numeracy concepts in the activity. Refer to Teaching Adults to Make Sense of Number to Solve Problems pages 6 – 8. See Appendix D.1 (below) for a simple example of this in a Raranga (weaving) class.
