9 This resource contains a collection of NUMERACY activities and teaching sequences to enhance and improve student OUTCOMES in NUMERACY . All the activities were implemented in classrooms and students showed significant improvement in NUMERACY OUTCOMES . Students were pre-tested and post-tested using NAPLAN questions and extended response questions. Students were asked to explain how they solved the problems and explain thinking strategies. Student work samples were analysed and the data used to inform and guide teaching. The syllabus areas covered by the activities were areas where students performed below state average in NAPLAN and teachers identified as common problem areas.

10 THE TEACHING AND learning CYCLE. Explicit and systematic teaching and learning will best occur when teachers follow the process articulated by the teaching and learning cycle. The teaching and learning cycle represents the four stages that occur in the design and delivery of classroom tasks that incorporate an OUTCOMES -based approach. The cycle has no start or end point, with each step informing the next. It is the process of gathering data and reflection that indicates where in the cycle you are operating. What do I want n on tio my students go ua in l to learn?
