A Mathracy event for Year 1 students and their parents – The Mathracy project goes ARTistic – was held at the Lunzjata Valley, organised by the Literacy Department, Maths Support Teachers and the Art Teachers for Early Years, within the Gozo College.

Parents were invited to participate in a short meeting where ideas were discussed on how to engage students in activities which help them develop further their literacy and Mathematical skills by using everyday objects, aimed at being able to bridge learning with real life experiences.

Students and their parents had the opportunity to engage in four, hands-on workshops animated by the Head of Department Literacy, Complementary Teachers, the Literacy Support Teachers, the Maths Support Teachers and the Art Teachers.

The workshops were a showcase of how blended learning (where Literacy, Maths and Art concepts are embedded together) can take place in a natural setting.

Gozo College said that feedback from the parents who were present for the event was once again positive and it showed eagerness for similar events in the future.

The Gozo College developed three Mathracy events in this scholastic year; an event for Year 6 students where Maths and Literacy skills were blended with PSCD, an event for the Year 3 students where Maths and Literacy skills were blended with Drama and this third event for Year 1 students.

The Maths and Literacy Teams within the Gozo College said that they look forward to further Mathracy events which empower students to experience learning through a holistic approach.
