Numeracy Activity Builder is a simple and effective tool for teachers, enabling you to easily create activities that look every bit as professional as content you would buy. You have complete control over the content, so can create activities to meet specific learning objectives, placing the focus where your pupils need it. The program can be used to support numeracy for pupils with additional needs right up to school-leaving age, regardless of curriculum level because of the variety of themes and backgrounds, font colours and sizes and a sticky mouse option for those with hand-eye coordination difficulties.
Using a wizard approach you are guided step by step through the creation of activities using any of nine frameworks provided. You can literally build and publish an activity in minutes - it's that simple!
The activity types are:
• fractions, decimals and percentages
• matching
• money
• multiple-choice
• number grid
• sequencing
• snap
• Venn and Carroll sorting
• Time
Activities once built can be saved as three different kinds of files:
• HTML - any user with an internet browser will be be able to view your activity
• Executable - your activity can be run by any pupil or colleague regardless of whether the activity builder software is installed on their computer
• SCORM - for publishing your activity on your school's VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)
A large bank of clip art is provided as part of the program and can be incorporated into your activities. Clip art banks include, money, 2D and 3D shapes, analogue and digital clocks, angles and shopping items.
There are 14 tutorials and hundreds of ready made example activities to get you started. This program can't be recommended highly enough!
