Welcome

Just gonna put this right here - even though I had it on another page: The Task: **Group task.** Within your groups you are to create a small take home leaflet that outlines the ‘New Zealand numeracy project’ to students and parents as they start Y9. The leaflet should answer question about: • What the numeracy project is • A brief history of the project • the philosophical underpinnings of the project • how will being taught via a ‘numeracy project’ approach differ from what students are used to • the sorts of activities that the students might be involved in • what skills will be enhanced via this approach 1. Discuss the approach you will take to research the numeracy project with the other members in your group. You may want to each research all the questions and then compare notes or you may want to divide up the research. 2. Think carefully about the design of your leaflet. It must be visually appealing so that parents and students will want to read it and it must be informative. Give relevant examples where appropriate. Don’t forget to include advice about where they can get more help if they need it. 3. Once you have all agreed on your final version you are to post it under the paper heading 210.400 under the thread called ‘Numeracy Pamphlet’.
 * Suggested procedure. **

Right ... well done if you have made it this far. Here we will discuss our ideas. and I guess post documents when we get to that stage. Don't sweat the graphical layout of the pamphlet - I can do that in a jiffy (unless you want to.... happy for that too) let's just get the ideas down here. 

Hi Justin (and Don?) I am quite happy to do the first three points of the task or do you have another way of splitting it up? Let me know - will be in and out of here all day today - cheers Miranda

That's cool Miranda... or you could do the first 2, and then Don and I will have 2 each? I'm happy either way. Don? >J
