Numeracy and Maths Glossary
This glossary has been developed for parents and carers. This includes early learning and childcare through to 3rd year in secondary schools. It provides clear definitions of some of the commonly used terms in numeracy and mathematics. It is organised according to Curriculum for Excellence and includes images and diagrams to support the definitions. To access the glossary, please click here.
I am a Mathematician
Education Scotland has launched its ‘I am a mathematician’ resource to help parents and carers support their children’s learning with engaging activities to do at home. Evidence suggests that children’s enthusiasm can be affected by a lack of confidence. Parents and carers can play a vital role in reinforcing the importance of maths to their children, promoting a positive attitude towards it and making it a fun activity to do together as a family.
