In this activity children are challenged to solve a range of problems relating to capacity in a meaningful context. Children choose a card from a series of cards with capacities indicated on them. They then work in pairs or small groups to discuss how they can create the quantity by using three containers of...

In this resource from CensusAtSchool, students are asked to collect data about the number of cars owned by the households of class members, and present it as a bar or frequency graph.

This report details the findings an intervention project called Catch Up® 1 Numeracy, which consisted of two 15-minute sessions per week, delivered in a one to one session by teaching assistants (TAs). The intervention focused...
