Engage children in real-life activities like baking, playing games like Battleship and Car cricket, exploring fractions with sandwiches, and understanding mass through activities like lunchbox packing and shopping bags.

For teenagers, activities like capturing a picture related to literacy, setting up a reading challenge, analyzing song lyrics, journaling, joining a book club, and engaging in creative writing prompts can help improve their literacy skills.

Secondary numeracy activities involve real-world scenarios like budgeting, planning a bushwalk, understanding the costs of owning a car, reorganizing a bedroom using measurements, learning about sports tactics and camera angles, tracking activity data, and taking on a travel challenge. These activities aim to enhance teenagers' mathematical skills and financial literacy in practical ways (p.2).
