Maths
The Kempsey Library website contains census data for the local area from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that could be used to create authentic numeracy lessons of many kinds from simple addition and percentages, to graphing and comparisons.
Maths is all around the Macleay Valley in letterbox numbers, in distances, in measuring the rainfall, in measuring the temperature, in the height of the river and creeks during floods, in prices in shops and counting everyday objects. We use numeracy everyday. Create experiences in school and on local excursions that explicitly show this to the students.
