Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society. It increases our opportunities within the world of work and establishes foundations which can be built upon through lifelong learning. Numeracy is not only a subset of mathematics; it is also a life skill which permeates and supports all areas of learning, allowing young people access to the wider curriculum. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Education Scotland)<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Monday 23rd<\/sup> September\u00a0 – Family Numeracy and Maths Homework Challenge<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n Families can choose one activity (or more if you wish) from the grid and work on this together over the next two weeks.\u00a0 How you record and share your homework is up to you!
