Independent learning on Pathways Awarua.

The Talanoa Numeracy Educator Pathway is designed to infuse Pacific flair, wisdom, and energy into the teaching and learning of numeracy.

About the pathway

The lessons in this Educator Pathway will make teaching numeracy easier by focusing on engaging learners in rich numeracy discussions. This is the perfect place to find fun, engaging numeracy activities and a model to introduce them effectively.

Talanoa is the Pacific art of storytelling and discussion that leads to consensus and decision-making. Storytelling and discussion are powerful tools for educators and learners to make sense of and apply numeracy. Storytelling places numeracy in meaningful contexts, while discussion facilitates learning and understanding.

The Talanoa Numeracy approach supports educators in engaging Pacific learners, and in fact all learners, with numeracy in a meaningful way, helping them develop their own understanding and practical application of numeracy in their lives.

Topics covered

This Educator Pathway is a work in progress, with new content under development.

Currently, the Pathway introduces a talanoa model applied to financial literacy. Topics under development:

  • Using music to engage learners with numeracy
  • Planning sports events
  • Using a ‘tasi’ to teach children number skills.
