The guide has been broken down into the different areas of maths. Feel free to explore, perhaps learn something new, or if you are looking for something specific, please click on the magnifying glass above to search for it.

The various aspects of Numeracy and Mathematics are introduced at different stages in a child’s education. For each aspect on this site you will find a key illustrating what level of education it is relevant to. Early Level typically covers the early years up to Primary 1; First Level typically covers Primary 2 to Primary 4; Second Level typically covers Primary 5 to Primary 7. The level at which an aspect of mathematics would be introduced will be lit yellow. For example, this indicates the aspect of mathematics you are looking at would be introduced at First Level.
