As displayed in the image above there are many aspects to 21st
century literacies. 21st
century literacies were introduced into education in order to prepare students
to develop into young adults and face the real world that we live in today. One
thing that I have come to notice within the 21st century literacies
and incorporating them into a mathematics classroom is that for the most part
you can integrate each of these into examples and activity topics as real world
scenarios to target student interests as well as prepare them for becoming an
adult in society. Literacies like financial literacy,
technology literacy, environmental literacy, global literacy and multicultural
literacy can be integrated into the mathematics classroom easier than the others because they are great topics to use
for examples, activities or question topics. Media literacy can be integrated
as well by talking about medias portrayal of sales, and consumerism,
advertisements integrating this then into financial literacy and mathematics.
Mental health literacy and moral literacy are a little more challenging for me
however these might be brought into play with classroom rules and expectations
as well as living skills within the mathematics classroom. If anyone has other
ideas for incorporating these into the math class please leave a comment on
this blog as I would love to hear them.
Cheers,
Vince
