  1. FET National Curriculum Statements (Schools) Information Session MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL LITERACY

  2. OUTCOMES for Info. Session • understanding of the the principles of the NCS • understanding of the link between GET learning areas and FET NCS subjects. • understanding of the design features of the NCS subjects

  3. OUTCOMES (cont) • Identify learning needs for teachers in terms of new content/skills and ICT. • Identify possible teaching and learning support material (printed materials and software).
