Numeracy in the news: behind the headlines
Designed to be used at home by a child working alone or with an adult or siblings.
These activities help learners make sense of the numbers in the news and empower them to make their own judgments based on evidence. Through a combination of numeracy skills and discussion questions, learners are able to see behind the headlines and better-understand the media they consume.
Engaging scenarios help them to:
- Investigate how numbers can be presented to support a viewpoint
- Interrogate the accuracy of claims in the headlines
- Adjust their thinking in light of new findings
- Analyse numerical evidence to help solve a social issue
