Creating Chinese calligraphy
This is one of a set of resources from the IET that uses the theme of the lunar new year to reinforce basic maths skills through the use of Chinese calligraphy. The activity is aimed at key stage 3 pupils with low levels of attainment.
Pupils learn about and make use of Chinese calligraphy. They will learn about different types of ‘script’, what is meant by a Xuan, and how to write numbers using Chinese Regular script.
This activity could be used as a main lesson to reinforce basic maths skills or to teach pupils about how cultural factors and language influences work within design and technology and art. It could also be used as part of a wider scheme of learning focussed on cultural, ethical and social influences in design.
