Numeracy

All Pupils should experience a rich numeracy learning environment and ensuring that all of our young people are numerate is a very important curricular responsibility of this school. All of our subjects have exposure to numeracy and are expected to develop this throughout their courses as part of Curriculum for Excellence.

• Our pupils ought to leave our school with a level of numeracy which allows them to cope with the demands of life beyond school.
• We try to ensure that there is a consistent approach to the development of numeracy for all pupils.

A numerate person should be able to:

• Use money with confidence.
• Use multiplication tables.
• Handle time with confidence
• Use different types of measurement
• Understand ratio, proportion, fractions and percentages
• Interpret graphs, maps and tables
