Introduction

We have decided to choose cross curricular as a focus as we identified that as a weakness in the SCOT

Related School-wide Initiatives

We will work with other subject departments on this issue as it will benefit everyone. We will also highlight to students at every opportunity.

What does it mean for Business Studies?

Topics that will benefit in Business studies & maths are calculating percentage and percentage increase and discount (insurance premiums, business documents, payslips & tax, final accounts)

Business & home economics - budgeting, MABs and financial services, gross and net wage, consumer legislation

Business & geography are sustainability, globalisation, economic activities, economic impacts, resources (natural resources etc)

Classroom Strategies in Action

Brainstorming for prior knowledge & where the likely overlaps will be

Mindmapping

Peer teaching - eg get a home ec student to explain what they learn in that subject

Shared document eg google docs

1 page summary

Use a calculator emulator at the start of any numeracy work

Team teaching with math teachers for the maths-heavy content

Further Supports/Resources

Themathsteacher.ie videos on relevant maths skills
