Activity: Numeracy Vocabulary

It is important that learners understand numeracy vocabulary, including mathematical functions and the link between numbers and number names.

Two sets of flashcards could be created, one with number names and the other with the corresponding numbers:

Number Names: Twenty-Five
Numbers: 25

The learner could match the flashcards with number names to the correct number flashcards. Also, each set of flashcards could be mixed up, and the learner could be asked to put them in numerical order.

A “Flashcard Blanks” master sheet is provided in Section 10. A “Written Numbers Chart” also appears in Section 10. It can be copied for learners to study or refer to.
