4.2 Teaching numeracy in a mathematics lesson using HITS

Referring back to your weekly learning outcomes, by the end of this topic, you will be able to:

  • design numeracy learning experiences integrating the HITS.

Activity: Teaching using the HITS

Trial a resource from the Birth to Level 10 Numeracy Guide or outline a lesson plan to demonstrate fostering numeracy in a mathematics lesson using the HITS.

Activity 2: Becoming a highly accomplished teacher of numeracy using the HITS

Argue how incorporating the HITS into your lesson planning and teaching will assist you in being a proficient or highly accomplished teacher (AISTL) of numeracy. For example, watch the video of Sue Southey, a Kindergarten teacher, and consider how she explicitly introduces and explores new content. You can watch Sue by visiting Explicit teaching.
