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.
Conceptual Numeracy
The Fife Conceptual Understanding in Numeracy approach is designed to build knowledge and confidence based on robust research through whole school engagement, examining what effective teaching and learning in maths looks like.
The Conceptual Numeracy Documentation and further support can be access here.
