Engineering - Adult Literacy and Numeracy Resources
Project Details
Information and resources related to embedding literacy and numeracy into engineering programmes for learners working towards qualifications at NZQF Levels 1 to 3. Covers topics such as the metric measurement system; area and perimeter; and the Pythagoras theorem.
Key Points to Note:
- Embedding literacy and numeracy in specific programmes demonstrates good teaching practice.
- These resources, although contextualised, are not limited to these contexts and can be transferable to other programmes and industries.
- To get started, watch the Introduction to Engineering Resources video.
- Keep in mind, some teaching and learning sequence resources have supporting resources, including activity cards, charts, and worksheets.
