Maths / Numeracy Websites

jjdonegal

Looked through the site and unable to locate the info I need!

Anyone know good maths websites that can be used to help engage students with extremely poor numeracy?

Anything that can be used as a different approach will bring some freshness/benefits for them I hope.

Have a look at some of the primary school websites, off the top of my head there's sparklebox, twinkle and seomaranga.
They often have some good ideas. I'm working with students with poor numeracy and today we played bingo. They had to solve simple maths problems and then see if they had that number on their card.

Calculated colouring is great! Just google it.

I would not recommend people using sparkle box . Google if you have queries.

Contact a special needs teacher. They should be in a position to supply this information.

Mathsworksheets4kids.com is good for very weak resource students as they can practise basic skills, build confidence and practise helps retention. Also focus a lot on calc use to help them access more questions in class despite poor numeracy.

With my mainstream classes, I often use Matching activities, or Loop/Treasure Hunt activities. 10 Quick Questions on a particular topic helps get a competitive spirit going. A lot of these activities can be found on www.tes.co.uk in PPT presentations and worksheets if you know the buzzwords to search for.

Are they attending learning support for maths? Is there a copy of Numbershark in the school? What about STILE Maths?
Did you do an error analysis of their Drumcondra/Sigma tests? Have you tried Scratch with them?
