‘Aon, Dha, Trì’, ‘One, Two, Three’, aims to encourage strategic mathematical thinking and problem solving for children in the early years of primary school. Content for the website has been produced to support the Curriculum for Excellence and also includes detailed notes for teachers and parents. The site is available at www.bbc.co.uk/aondhatri

The second website, ‘Bitesize’ is aimed at fluent Gaelic speakers and is intended to support students who are revising for their standard grade Gàidhlig exam by breaking down revision topics into smaller manageable sections. In addition, support with key elements of Gaelic grammar is also provided. ‘Bitesize’ can be accessed through www.bbc.co.uk/foghlam and resources are also available for students sitting higher Gàidhlig as well as additional Gaelic exams.

The new websites complement BBC ALBA’s current online educational resource ‘Beag air Bheag’, ‘Little by Little’ which is how the website helps people learn Gaelic, a little bit at a time. The online course is available at www.bbc.co.uk/beagairbheag.

Margaret Mary Murray, Head of Service for BBC ALBA, said: “We are delighted to introduce two new Gaelic education websites produced by the BBC. Both are fantastic learning packages providing an attractive and fun resource for children and Gaelic students as well as a rich source of information and guidance for parents and teachers.”
