An invite from Chris McGrane at Hillhead High School.
“It’s rare that we get the chance to listen to world class experts in person. Maths teachers in Scotland have this chance on Saturday 16th June in Glasgow!
Anne Watson and John Mason are an absolute must listen to!”

Certification of Numeracy
Certification of numeracy unit qualifications is available through the numeracy standalone units at SCQF levels 3, 4 and 5. To achieve the Numeracy units, you must gather appropriate assessment evidence to show that the candidate meets the requirements of the Numeracy units.
Candidates can also achieve the Core Skill of Numeracy through the National 5 Mathematics course or Applications of Mathematics course at grades A to D. Furthermore, the five Core Skills of Communication, Numeracy, Problem Solving, Working with Others, and IT, are available at specific SCQF levels, on the Core Skills profile that is included on every candidate’s certificate.
The Insight tariff accepted the previous National 5 Mathematics (and National 5 Lifeskills/Applications of Mathematics) course as a ‘proxy’ for Insight literacy and numeracy measures. The Scottish Government has indicated that this will continue for the revised National 5 course, now titled National 5 Applications of Mathematics, which is certificated at grades A to D.
