I’ve tried to come up with five interesting and meaningful ways you can quickly and easily introduce some numeracy into your non-Maths lesson.
Click here to download the PDF of “give me five” for most subjects.
Below is an extract from the document to give you an idea of it’s contents:
I’ve either invented these ideas myself, heard other people talk about them, or in several cases, borrowed them from other websites, worksheets, documents and publications which I’ve used in the past. But what have I missed?
Please add your ideas below as comments.
I would suggest including math even more casually – using arithmetic and averages and that sort of thing at the drop of a hat. Is there a project coming up? HOw many hours will it take? How many days are there to do it? How many minutes each day should be allotted?

And yes, as you mentioned on the PDF… talk a *lot* about percents and fractions. SO many adults are almost comfortable with “half” — but thirds? two-thirds? Whether 3/4 of something is more or less than 2/3?
