Hugh’s Makaton with mathematics
Four learning stories
Hugh was interested in money and knew it could buy things, but did not know the cost of goods. Sometimes he had been to the tuckshop with 10-cents and could not understand why he was sent away and told he did not have enough money.
Goals in Hugh’s individual education programme (IEP) included knowing how much money he needed for the cost of the tuck shop items, being able to ask for those items and using sign language to help him make purchases.
This string of learning stories shows Hugh learning and communicating using Makaton in mathematics. He shows increasing confidence in asking to purchase liquorice at the school tuckshop with the correct money.
These stories showing the learning planned for Hugh by Chris his teacher and the team were written by Shelley his teacher-aide.
