Title
Numberline Lane - teaching and learning maths through stories
Description
The Books
Numberline Lane is a new set of books designed to help both teaching and learning of maths through stories. Each book covers objectives from the National Numeracy Strategy, and will come with a leaflet with practical ideas for developing the discussion as the story progresses.
Fiona has been teaching maths to KS1 for many years and was looking for a new way to approach her Numeracy lessons. She found that telling the children a story around a maths objective enabled them to understand the concept much more quickly. With plenty of opportunities during the story for number work it acted as part of the Mental/Oral Introduction and also led smoothly into the main teaching objective.
The stories evolved into a place called Numberline Lane, and Fiona's twin brother Nick brought the characters to life with colourful cartoons. She has used the stories for many lessons both in her own school and during demonstration lessons around West Sussex. The children have loved them and have responded very well to the subsequent activities.
