  2. What is numeracy? A current definition of numeracy: Numeracy is a proficiency, which is developed mainly in mathematics but also in other subjects. It is more than an ability to do basic arithmetic. It involves developing confidence and competence with numbers and measures. It requires understanding of the number system, a repertoire of mathematical techniques, and an inclination and ability to solve quantitative or spatial problems in a range of contexts. Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in which data are gathered by counting and measuring, and presented in graphs, diagrams, charts and tables. (Framework for Teaching Mathematics - yrs 7 to 9 - DfES) "Growing Our Global Learning Community for Girls & Young Women"

  3. Core Principles – to be used in as many lessons as possible • Students have basic mathematics equipment in all lessons (calculator, ruler, compass and protractor, planner with Mathematics facts). • Students answer numeracy problems showing all workings fully. • Students mark in green (as per literacy policy). • Students engage with mathematical language.

  5. National Picture • The previous slide shows what we expect every student to be able to do by the end of Key Stage 3. • Students now have to continue with Maths until they are 18 if they do not achieve a grade C in Maths. • In order to support with this, students will receive one session of Numeracy as part of Community Time. This is in addition to their Maths lessons. "Growing Our Global Learning Community for Girls & Young Women"
