Textiles Numeracy Workbook

Build confident, capable and numerate textiles students - without creating extra work for yourself.

Looking for an engaging way to strengthen numeracy while teaching practical textiles? The Year 7 Textiles Numeracy Workbook has been designed specifically for Textile teachers who want meaningful, curriculum-relevant mathematics embedded into every lesson.

Rather than teaching maths in isolation, this workbook allows students to apply essential numeracy skills to authentic textile design and production tasks they will actually use in the classroom. Students develop confidence while measuring, calculating, estimating and solving real-world sewing problems.

What’s Included:
✔ Reading metric rulers and tape measures
✔ Millimetre and centimetre conversions
✔ Measuring classroom and textile objects
✔ Perimeter calculations using textile projects
✔ Area calculations for fabric pieces and pattern components
✔ Fabric estimation and material planning
✔ Costing materials and budgeting projects
✔ Real-life problem-solving and decision-making activities

Every activity is based on familiar textile items including tote bags, aprons, cushion covers, pencil cases, fabric pieces and classroom equipment, making learning practical, relevant and engaging.

Activities progress from guided examples to independent application, allowing students of varying abilities to experience success. Students will be able to see why mathematics matters by applying it to measuring fabric, planning projects, estimating materials and calculating production costs. An Answer workbook is provided.

It is Perfect for:

• Year 7 Technology Mandatory Textiles
• Numeracy intervention
• Mixed-ability classrooms
• Relief lessons
• Homework and revision
• Assessment preparation
• Early finishers
• Practical lesson starters or consolidation activities
