First Numeracy meeting 2011
How is it?TEACHING NUMERACY
Maths is crucial to many of our programmes and getting calculations wrong in the work place can be a serious issue for many of our students.
Because some of our students can struggle with the maths component in their courses we are offering a series of workshops to look at ways to teach numeracy.
The first one is on Friday 25th February 2011.
Following workshops will be on Thursdays once a month.
Workshop One
Topics: Decimal considerations and misconceptions.

Early measurement ideas
Room: 115 -1007
Time: 2.30pm – 4.30pm
Date: Friday 25 February 2011
Facilitator
Phil Kane from MIT will be exploring some themes and ideas to assist teachers and their learners. Themes may be common to several departments across Unitec.
The plan is to get staff together from all faculties, one afternoon, once a month to meet together to progress these themes and ideas.
